Comments from Reviewers -

"Summer's Growth is a compelling story about two women. Amber Harrison is a struggling college student who doesn't know what she wants to do with her life. Mattie Winston has devoted her life to her family's spiritual guides. When the spirits decided to replace Mattie with Amber, both are thrown together. Strange things start happening around them and they are both challenged by their desire to have the life they have always wanted.

Mattie had her heart broken by Quincy Miller once. Now years later, can she give him another chance?

Will Amber discover who killed her distant grandmother and give love a chance to grow with Carter?

Fascinating story with a family of secrets to discover."

"SUMMER'S GROWTH, author Tina Gayle presents a ghost story with a unique perspective. She gives a whole new meaning to the idea of caring for your elders. An enjoyable read."

"I really enjoyed Summer's Growth. The romantic element coupled with the paranormal aspects of the novel made for an interesting story. I am not typically drawn to these types of works, but very glad I took the chance. Great read!"
