ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Summer of '69" by Elin Hilderbrand is a compelling family drama set during the summer of 1969. The story revolves around the Levin family, particularly the youngest daughter, Jessie, who spends the summer on Nantucket with her strict grandmother while her siblings face their own challenges. As the family grapples with the Vietnam War, personal rebellions, and the impending changes in their lives, Jessie experiences her own coming-of-age journey. The novel explores themes of family dynamics, love, loss, generational conflict, and the social upheaval of the 1960s, all set against the backdrop of a transformative summer.
