Journalist Jenna Harris strives to write her way out of a quaint Great Lakes town and onto the staff of a major newspaper. The town and its people tug back-with old secrets, an endearing ethnic culture, and a lively group of 20-somethings sorting out life in the wake of the loose and experimental 1970s. 'Secrets of Gray Lake is a haunting story that creates its own half-familiar, half-exotic world in a small town in a 'far, cold corner of Pennsylvania.' Heroine Jenna is a features writer whose personal investigations take place in a world not absolutely fit for print, at any rate not in a small town newspaper. Drawn to a house-next-door of free-wheeling young people and their charismatic leader, Jenna is drawn into a life that skims the edge of sexual and nautical adventure. How much and how dangerously the history of the lake infuses its present is a secret that may never be adequately understood, but its pursuit makes for a story of recurrent and illuminating surprises.' -Janet Burroway, Writing Fiction, Losing Tim 'Excellent storytelling: warmhearted, intelligent, strict yet conversational. I love the growing sense of connections between all these people. Rebecca has that necessary fiction writer's credo deep in ​her​ blood-that a story comes from relationships between characters, not from just the characters themselves. The details are wonderful and made me laugh many times, but also just paint a beautiful, new, fresh, visionary sense of life.' -Rebecca Lee, author of Bobcat and other Stories. 3
