Publisher's Summary:
After an unscrupulous reporter falsely accuses Boston lounge singer Lily Blake of having an affair with a newly appointed Cardinal, she's hounded by the press, fired from her job, and robbed of all public freedom. The humiliation and violation of privacy leaves her no choice but to retreat to her rural hometown of Lake Henry, New Hampshire. In search of refuge, Lily forms an uneasy alliance with John Kipling, a former Boston reporter with trust issues of his own.

Critic Reviews:
"[An] engaging tale." (People)
"Delinsky spins another engrossing story of strength in the face of cataclysmic life changes." (Library Journal)
"Delinsky plots this satisfying, gentle romance with the sure hand of an expert, scattering shady pasts and dark secrets among some of her characters, while giving others destructive family patterns and difficult family dynamics to contend with." (Publishers Weekly)
Members Reviews:
Good story, although you knew that there was going to be a happy ending
Lily, a caberet singer in Boston, was targeted in incorrect allegations in the press. Her Catholic Cardinal friend was issued a public apology by the press days later, but she had to leave town to escape the media and settled back in her old hometown of Lake Henry. The local newspaperman, John, used to work with the reporter who started the slander, and wants to uncover why he did it, the unethical workings and bring him down. In the background are strained family relationships for both John and Lily. The mystery of why kept me guessing until almost the very end. And you knew that Lily and John would sort of mend their fences with their families and wind up together.
Liked it.
Really liked this one-had read it years ago.
Very Disappointed!
The initial story of Lake News is good, but it is a long book, which I usually enjoy, but WAY too much description of everything. I skipped over much of the book just to get it over with. The whole thing could have been done in 100 pages rather than over 500 pages. I like this author in the past, but wish she wouldn't go into every tiny detail.
Five Stars
Always enjoy her books...good character development... interesting plots
Lake News
Delinsky is an author who can tell a tale that is intriguing and creates strong emotion in the reader. This is a story of a woman hung, drawn, and quartered by the press over a friendship with a priest. The press has become so invasive and destroyed the reputations of so many people who are actually innocent that I actually prefer fiction because nonfiction has reached the point of disbelief. The story is riveting, provokes strong emotion, and I could not put it down until I finished the last line. Great read! Okie Reading Specialist
