Indian Summer

Lavinia Larimore confronts betrayal when a long-delayed engagement collapses, setting off intertwined domestic dramas in a small upstate community. The narrative traces several characters through spring, summer, and a belated frost, following courtships, moral dilemmas, private sacrifices, and reconciliations that test loyalties and reshape ambitions. Scenes range from everyday village routines to crises that prompt spiritual and practical reckonings; recurring concerns are duty, social expectation, inner growth, and the search for meaningful connection, culminating in personal renewal and altered communal ties.
