Two sisters who married two brothers and had three daughters each, the women would escape the city the moment school was out to gather at the family house on Lake Waseka.

Until the summer that changed everything. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis is now…\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter an accidental drowning turned the lake house into a site of tragedy and grief, it was closed up.
