Elin Hilderbrand is the author of Summer of '69 and she was born in the summer of 1969. This book was a nice summer vacation type book about four siblings going to their Grandma's house on Nantucket island. Jessica is the youngest and just turned 13. Her brother Tiger is serving in Viet Nam. Her older sister Kirby is working on Martha's Vineyard. Her eldest sister, Blair, is pregnant with twins. There is a lot of drama going on in this family and in the world. The moon launch happened. Ted Kennedy drove off a bridge and Mary Jo Kopechne was killed. Much like today, the summer of 1969 was a tumultuous time that I had mostly forgotten until I read this book.
