It's July, 1975, and twenty-one year old Susan McGinnis is on a mission of self-discovery at her parent's cabin on beautiful Higgins Lake. Her second thoughts about her upcoming marriage are turning into third thoughts when she encounters a runaway Chippewa boy, struggling to land a pike on her neighbor's dock. Almost seventeen, savvy, and self-sufficient, he soon challenges everything she thought she believed.
Exploring unimagined emotions, she meets a strangely alluring, auburn-haired girl with a delicate malfunction.
As events unfold, Susan is forced to confront the one person she's never understood - herself. Will she ever learn to trust, and just what is Strawberry logic? With the help of an aging ranch hand, a road-hardened exotic dancer, and her darling friends, she's about to learn that one summer can change your entire life.
