THE SUMMER NANNY
Book ID/图书代码： 14780018C00117
English Summary/英文概要： Every June, the quiet beach town of Ogunquit is overtaken by wealthy families who hire local young women like Amy Latimer and Hayley Franklin to care for their children. Best friends since childhood, Amy and Hayley are eager to secure lucrative summer jobs. Amy wants to finance her upcoming move to Boston. Hayley hopes to squirrel away enough money so that her mom can finally leave her abusive husband.
Amy is immediately in thrall to her dynamic boss, Cressida Prior, so different from Amy’s mother, Leda. Though skilled at creating tapestries and rugs, Leda lacks confidence. But one thing she does know, after a painful summer long ago as a nanny herself, is how damaging a manipulative boss can be.
Hayley’s employers, Jon and Marisa Whitby, are loving parents to their two-year-old twins. Jon also has a grown son by a previous marriage. Ethan is kind, handsome, and not least, wealthy. For the first time, Hayley, usually so selfless, can’t help seeing him as an opportunity.
But the passing weeks bring complications and revelations, altering friendships, testing the bond between mothers and daughters, and proving that the ripples from a single season can last forever . . .
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 每年6月，宁静的海滨小镇奥冈基特都会涌进很多富有的家庭，他们雇佣当地的年轻女性，比如艾米•拉蒂默和海莉•富兰克林来照顾孩子。艾米和海莉从小就是好朋友，她们都渴望能在暑期找到一份收入不菲的工作。艾米想为她即将搬到波士顿的生活提供资金。海莉希望积攒足够的钱，这样她的妈妈就能最终离开虐待她的丈夫。
艾米立刻被她充满活力的老板克蕾西达•普赖尔迷住了，她和母亲莱达完全属于两类人。虽然擅长制作挂毯和地毯，但莱达缺乏自信。很久以前自己经历过当保姆的痛苦夏天，所以她很清楚一个控制欲强的老板会造成多大的伤害。
海莉的雇主乔恩•惠特比和玛丽莎•惠特比是一对慈爱父母，有一对两岁的双胞胎。乔恩在前一段婚姻中也有一个成年的儿子。伊森善良英俊，而且很富有。一向无私的海莉第一次忍不住把他视为一个机会。
但过去的几周参杂了各种复杂性和启示，改变了友谊，测试了母亲和女儿之间的纽带，同时证明了夏季的涟漪可以永远持续下去……（XMM）
