ABOUT THE AUTHOR of Once Upon a Summer

Wendy Wilson Spooner became a novelist after writing academically and for family history clients. Her love of history compels her to write the true stories she unearths during research, and she’s found that truth is indeed much more exciting and inspiring than fiction! She writes about family, faith, grief, art, and overcoming obstacles in life by coming to know who we truly are—children of God, and the descendants of remarkable people who paved the way for us—even if they really struggled. Wendy believes in learning from our ancestors, honouring them, and standing on their shoulders to become someone even better. When not writing, Wendy currently serves as Vice-Chair for Daughters of the American Revolution over the American Heritage Contest in Art and Sculpture. She also loves to hike, paint, travel and spend time with her favourite people—her family.

My Thoughts on Once Upon an Irish Summer:

I loved this book.  Literally.  I didn’t want to put it down.  It had the whole Irish thing going for it in the first place.  My great grandad was from Ireland and I love all things Irish of course.  So my favourite story within the story was the one in the past.  It was so good. 

Of course, the present-day story was good too.  This is a young adult book which you can definitely figure out by the main character being a teenage girl who’s about to turn 16.  The second main character is a teenage boy who used to be one of her best friends.  I love the rapport they have together and how easily they can go back to being best friends. 

I’m in awe of the letter collection and want it to be real.  I want to touch it and read it and love it.  History is something important to me and family history is even more so.  So this was the perfect book for me to read!

I recommend this book and think it’s definitely one I’d let my teenagers read.  While there are a few kisses and chat about dating it’s a pretty clean book with a good central theme.
