Kyle is eager to begin their annual trip to the lake cottage. He knows it will be different this year. His grandmother,who owned the cottage, has died, and his dad left the family this past Valentine's Day. Kyle has not spoken to him since and resents his compulsion to write the great American novel and "find himself". Kyle plans to explore the mysterious island in the middle of the lake - especially when he learns his mom is trying to sell the cottage to pay bills. This is a heartwarming story about close family ties, looking beyond appearances, hope, and second chances. Bit of bad language.
