Overview

Friendships grow and change over time, but even secrets can't keep true friends apart. Steven Bennett is a historian, chef, and programmer in a quaint rural town of the Pioneer Valley. Rejected by his first love, he marries another woman and lives an ordinary life hosting barbecues and tip-toeing around a past extramarital affair. When Suzi Carpenter, the young woman who may or may not be his daughter, dies of a suspected overdose, Steven's whole life, and the town, is upended. Set upon the backdrop of lush hills in Western Massachusetts, Steven embarks on a quest to discover what, or perhaps who, killed Suzi, only to unearth buried scars and hard truths about old friends. Crystal Springs is literary fiction about the love of place, the bonds between found families, and the lasting love between friends.
