Set in Wisconsin, A SUMMER IN OAKVILLE is the story of a family reuniting to save the rural life they once cherished. One magical summer in fictional Oakville, Wisconsin, love finds its way through four entwined lives. Tessa's
marriage hangs by a thread; her daughter, Lindsay, takes on the local
town board and the developer who threatens to steal not only the farm
but her heart. Tessa's widowed brother Art hasn't been home in twenty
years; how can he send his out-of-control teenage son, Andy, to his
aging parents?
"We
set out to tell the story of the changing landscape in rural
Wisconsin," Lickel says. "We wanted to try something unique while using
our individual strengths as authors. Shellie writes fiction for young
adults, and I write older characters."
"Our
family, the Hasmers, could be anyone," Neumeier says. "They want to
keep their heritage, while at the same time they struggle with the
changing times. It's hard to make a living on a family-sized farm, and
sometimes you have to make tough decisions."
"In
our story, the adult siblings, Tessa and Art, have their own problems
but come together in order to help their parents and their children,"
Lickel adds.
"Their
children, Lindsay and Andy, are good kids who are also victims of the
tough economic times and peer pressure today. But they have good hearts
and learn from their grandparents' and parent's good family and faith
values," Neumeier says.
