Due to unnatural circumstances, Mitch Wilder is pardoned from prison early.

​​​​​​​He wants to forget what he did in there, the relationships he had. But one man haunts him, the one who looks so much like his stepbrother, Tom Fleming. And Mitch finds that he's unable to form a serious relationship with anyone since his release. He is confused about his own identity.

​​​​​​​On top of this, Mitch meets several of his kids for the first time. His womanizing has finally caught up to him. He vows to do right by them, no matter how many of them there are. Two of his sons are into drugs. Mitch is unable to do anything about it.

​​​​​​​Not when he's addicted himself.

After his father’s will stipulates that in order to inherit his father’s shipping company, Mitch must hire his estranged stepbrother, Tom, with one woman caught between the two. Both brothers fight a battle of wits and emotions to settle a long-held dispute. Unsettled results complicate unresolved relationships to the last page. In this family drama, there definitely is no honor between brothers, especially where a certain woman is concerned.

I am a sucker for any book with a sea creature or lake monster and locked on Bessie: The Monster in Lake Erie as soon as I saw it. Deborah Tadema does a terrific job evoking a sixties-era Ontario lakeside town, telling a summertime story about family, regret, the environment, and hidden malice. Bessie, the titular monster with the not-so-scary name, is arguably a little too human in outlook but creates a solid center for people coming to terms with the past, and trying to do the right thing. Recommended with iced tea on the deck.
