Sutton Douglas finds out her life has been a lie. Her mother told her that her entire family died in a house fire, and they were the only survivors.

When her mother passes, Sutton finds a box of buttons that has a inscription that says: Grandma's Button Box, Dandy Button Co., Michigan.

Could this be the clue to finding the family that her mother told her she never had?

We follow Sutton from her childhood in the Ozark Mountains to her adult life in Chicago and then back to Michigan to try to find her family that might be connected to the tin of buttons she buys at a flea market.

THE EDGE OF SUMMER is sad, but so sweet and heartwarming.

I didn't want to put it down or want it to end. You will need tissues, but will enjoy every minute of your reading.

And the detailed descriptions of the Michigan landscape, the small resort towns and villages, the buildings, the celebrations, and Sutton’s cottage will have you wanting to get in your car and head there.

Not only is the story marvelous, but each chapter had a sewing term with its definition as a lead-in to the chapter.

Loved the button trivia and learning how Michigan was the Button Capital.

This is Wade’s BEST yet. Don’t miss it. 5/5

This book was given to me by the author for an honest review.
