About the Book

"Two Summers Too Hot" is an exciting new book based in the fictional mill town of Linton, North Carolina. The story is about the lives of two people in the summers of their youth in a small southern town. Allison Blackburn is a beautiful young girl who has just finished her sophomore year of high school in 1952 and has dreams of a better life. Carter Benfield is a twelve-year old boy who has just finished the sixth grade in 1964 and is looking forward to an adventurous summer with his friends. These two people cross paths one hot, humid summer night under a crescent, Carolina moon and their lives are changed forever.
