What do you do when your brother asks for one last Adirondack summer? John Taylor and Tommy Jackman have been best friends since age eight, the day they made a blood brother pact to stick together through thick and thin. Every year since, they’ve spent their summers at John’s Adirondack camp, and gotten together whenever they can during the year. Their pact will be put to the ultimate test when Tommy asks John to take him back to the lake to die. Without hesitation, John packs up Tommy and his beloved dog, Jasper, and drives his blood brother from Colorado to the Adirondack Mountains of New York. It is the hardest thing John has ever done. But the friends give each other a precious gift, the chance to share their lives one last time before Tommy no longer has a future. They remember all the firsts they shared the first drink, the first smoke, the first night with a girl. As Tommy’s life winds down, John holds on, blood brother scar against blood brother scar, until he realizes it’s not their last Adirondack summer. In this place, where they crossed the bridge from childhood to adulthood together, Thomas Michael Jackman will always be with him. Take the journey with John and Tommy as they learn the grim lesson of how letting go can sometimes be the best way to hold on.

One Last Adirondack Summer Heidi Sprouse Kellie Sharpe Books Reviews
Follow two journeys that have intertwined to become one and a shared scar, their lifeline. This is a beautiful story of life, learned lessons and a deep and everlasting friendship that time itself cannot end. Author Heidi Sprouse has such a way with words you will find yourself immersed, sitting there with the characters, sharing in their laughter and riding the same emotional rollercoaster that they are living. Here’s to timeless friendships and the magnificent writers who document them for all time. Thanks for this heartwarming read. I loved the Mad Squirrel! Write fast Heidi. Your readers want more!
"One Last Adirondack Summer" is FABULOUS!
Heidi Sprouse writes from her heart, and you can tell. The story just rolled along and I felt like I was right there with them, watching and listening to the lives of people who had built a family.
A love story of a different kind, it pulls you in. A lifelong friendship is something to be treasured. I can't tell you how refreshing it was to read this point of view. A real break from 'the heaving bosoms' type of love story. (Not that those aren't good...)
Keep writing, Heidi Sprouse!

Every now and then, it’s good to have a good cry. It’s cathartic. I had a feeling that this story was going to be very evocative and man was it ever! I flip-flopped back and forth between laughing and crying throughout this entire book. Admittedly, there were more tears than chuckles towards the end but it was so touching.
It’s very rare to meet your closest and dearest friend as a child, and still maintain that closeness into adulthood but that’s what these two characters did. Their journey through life, and in this case till death, is pretty incredible.
This is a powerful read my friends, and a very good one. The writing is excellent, making you feel everything that Johnny and Tommy feel. I really enjoyed it and was so nice to read something completely different from my usual TBR list.
One Last Adirondack Summer will make you feel nostalgic for your childhood, and appreciative of your life and loved ones, just as I’m sure the author intended.
Rating… A
I was given this book for an honest review. Very good story of two men who became best friends when they were younger and now one of them is dying. It's good to see someone write this type of emotional story with men in mind. Usually, women get the starring role. I think this book ranks right up there with "Brian's Song" which means you might need tissues along the way.
This book was very well written. Lots of good description and scenery. It drew me into the story quickly.
So why the 4 star instead of 5? It seemed to take too long between responses in a lot of the dialogue. The writer put too much in the way of dialogue tags which would make the response to a question or remark come almost two to three sentences later, sometimes even a paragraph. (i.e. in the beginning he calls his wife to purchase airline tickets. She asks him what's going on. Before he responds, he gets out to his car and the ignition started and is rolling out of the driveway. That's a lot of time before his response. If I were the wife, I'd be calling out his name or something to find out why he's not answering.) I also had an issue with the memories in italics. Makes it hard to read after a while. Minor punctuation and grammatical issues, but nothing to make you stop reading.
Minor punctuation and grammatical issues, but nothing to make you stop reading. A clean read so no need to worry about curse words or sexual content.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good, well-written book that will most likely cause a lump to form in your throat.
All you need is that ONE friend…the one that you can call anytime of the day or night, any day of the week, for good news, bad news and everything else in between. It doesn’t matter that you haven’t spoken in a while, you pick up as if you spoke the day before. And you are there for that ONE friend no matter what….
But what do you do if they call and tell you that they are dying ? And you are the only person on the entire earth that they want to spend the remaining time they have here with you…..
You JUMP into action. You go wherever they want to go and you help them cherish their remaining time doing whatever they want. You think about them and only them and you try to breath…..
In One Last Adirondack Summer by Heidi Sprouse you witness such a friendship. Tommy and John met when they were 8 years old on the lake and became instant best friends. They even became “blood brothers” and had the scars to show for it. So when Tommy called John and said he was dying with cancer and needed him, John hopped a plane and went to Tommy’s.
The one and only place that Tommy wanted to spend his last days was at John’s summer house on Adirondack Lake. That is the place that their friendship started, where they had so many good times and lots of memories and stories, and where their friendship would see them through to the end.
So John loaded Tommy and his dog Jasper into Mary Anne, Tommy’s truck and drove them to the lake. Tommy only wanted John there – no doctors, no hospice, no one. John did everything he could for his friend.
The strength of their friendship will carry them to the end and will leave you longing for more. Unfortunately there is no more……or is there ? The impact that this book will leave on the reader will stay with them for a long time to come. It will leave the reader raw with emotion and desire. One Last Adirondack Summer will stay with the reader for a long, long time ……
This is a beautiful story of a true friendship. I highly recommend it. Everyone should have a friendship like the men in this story.
This book will fill your heart and make you cry. It's a story of two boys who become friends one summer and promise to always be there for each other even when one is dying from cancer.
