It's a 1970s summer on a lake in Northern Michigan. A young girl and her sister plan a forbidden salvage operation to rescue valuables from the family's sunken boat. What they discover is a secret that could change their lives forever. Excerpted from Diane Dunning's short-story collection "One Short Year," "Love, Mark" is a tale of daring and heartache.

"Dunning captures both the voice of the young narrator and the flavor of the early seventies in this meticulous tale, which is sad and funny in turns." --The Self-Publishing Review
