Three lives, three decades, one blueberry farm: an unforgettable novel about the friendships that shape us and the first loves that never let us go.

It’s an accident that brings Maud, Connor and Gideon together on their first day of college. They quickly become inseparable.

Every August, they return to Gideon’s family blueberry farm. For Maud, it’s an escape from her parents’ divorce; for Connor, from the weight of expectation; for Gideon, from a wrong that can never be undone. The one thing they can’t escape is their tangled feelings for each other.

Over thirty years, life brings them together then keeps them apart – love, work, family, things they hoped for and never saw coming. Until, one summer, a young girl arrives at the farm seeking answers – about an August night they never talk about.

From the longings of youth to the reckonings of middle age, In August is a love story about the people who know us before we know ourselves, and how to find our way back to them.
