The trilogy about the American-Giroux family is complete with the publication of “That Old Lake Magic: A Search for Love and Healing on Seneca Lake” by G.A. Brandt.
Here’s the plot: “JOA Giroux has devoted nearly a decade to helping unwed mothers and children in Ottawa, Canada, at the Giroux family’s charitable foundation. She is near burnout when she is given a one-year sabbatical from the foundation. JOA wants to travel but first decides to spend a few weeks with her cousins at their winery on Seneca Lake in New York. There she meets the winemaker Thomas Burton, a U.S. Marine and veteran of Vietnam, who carries baggage from his war-time service. Can JOA help Thomas rid himself of his demons from the war? Will the relationship survive if Thomas agrees to help his Marine buddies on a dangerous mission to Rhodesia? Will the Haudenosaunee God of the Lake, Manitou, bring a magical and spiritual peace to them both? Set in the late 1970s, That Old Lake Magic spins a tale of romance, conflict, danger, and surprises for JOA and Thomas.”
Brandt’s previous books about the Giroux family are It That Pleases Them: The Awakening and Redemption of Chaucer Giroux and As Beautiful As This: A Novel of the Reconciliation of War and Peace in an American Family.
Each book focuses on a different member of the Giroux family, and you don’t have to read the previous books to enjoy That Old Lake Magic. All of the books can be purchased by clicking here.
