It's 1944, and high-school senior Meg Michaels has always obeyed her grandparents' wishes, till now. They're urging her to give up her dream of Cornell University and accept a ring from wealthy Hank Wickham before he deploys overseas.

But Meg has studied hard and yearns for something better than life in the rural Finger Lakes. Plus, Meg's suddenly fascinated with her childhood friend, Arthur Young, a handsome Seneca Indian farm worker.

When Meg and Arthur nurse a sick puppy to health, their friendship transforms into love. But locals look down on "injuns" and resent the fact that Arthur's farm job exempts him from military duty.

While the war rages in Europe, Meg and Arthur must fight their own battles at home....

This was a really good well written story. It transports you to the past and touches on many issues that are still relevant today. It's a beautiful coming of age story.

Ann Marie Lee's narration was really good. She has a great voice for the story and characters.

Emily Heebner does an artful job of transporting you back to the 1940s. She clearly took a lot of time and effort to research not only the tangible items of the era, but the zeitgeist that affected everyone, one way or another. Seneca Lake is a unique coming of age story for a young woman trying to find a path forward in an age when women's roles in society were in flux. The narration was expertly performed, and felt like the right voice to tell this story.

Beautifully written story.

An exhaustingly tedious story.
Tries to be edgy by using provocative derogatory terms buts it’s just not an intriguing plot.

I came across this book and thought I would give it a try. Sadly, just a subpar bore fest that I wish I had not waisted a credit on.

Girl falls in love with a man of color.... in this case an ‘injun’ - there saved you 5 hours.

This is the first book I’ve read/listened to by this author and I would listen to another. A wonderful tale that could easily be a true story. It touches on many issues during the years surrounding the war- a woman’s place in society, lack of respect for natives, motivations for joining the fighting, realities of war on the soldiers and those left at home.

This is the first book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Ann Marie Lee ). Her voice is perfect for this sad romance/ historical story. She gives each character a voice. Her voice acting helped me visualize the events/people in the story since she tells the tale, not just reads it.

There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.
