Raised in New York City, Vivian is an ambitious sommelier with a secret that could derail her future. Lucy grew up in a tiny Maine town, where she now teaches high school English while watching her marriage unravel. They’ve never met. While Lucy envied her half-sister from afar, their father kept Vivian in the dark. When Vivian arrives at the lake to spread his ashes and sell his cabin, she's shocked to find Lucy there, awaiting his return. In an ideal world, they’d help each other through their grief. Instead, they fight through a storm of suspicion and hostility to untangle the messy truth about their parents’ pasts. While Lucy is desperate to hold onto the house, Vivian is scrambling after a betrayal. After thirty years of not knowing each other, is it too late for them to be a family?MAINE CHARACTERS features a dynamic and entertaining cast of characters: there’s Vivan’s mom Celeste, the celebrated novelist obsessed with making her way back on the bestseller list; there’s Caleb, Lucy’s handsome, laid-back friend who works at the only restaurant in town…and may have encountered Vivian one summer long ago; and there’s charismatic Manhattan restaurateur Oscar exerting his gravitational pull back to the city.For fans of Carley Fortune and Elin Hilderbrand, this story of family conflict, grief, and sisterhood brims with undeniable heart, depth, charm, and humor, set against the backdrop of Maine summer sunsets.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/17bc83c0-08a2-11f0-a48c-d1c078456698-rimg-w493-h740-dc131307-gmir.jpg Photo credit: The Deans PhotographyHannah Orenstein is the author of Maine Characters, Meant to Be Mine, Head Over Heels, Love at First Like, and Playing with Matches, as well as the Deputy Editor of Lifestyle and Wellness at Bustle.

                "description": "Strand Book Storewas born in 1927 on Fourth Avenue on what was then called “Book Row,” an area that covered six city blocks and housed forty-eight bookstores. Our founder Benjamin Bass was all of twenty-five years old when he began his modest used bookstore and sought to create a place where books would be loved, and book lovers could congregate. Ninety years and a move over to Broadway, the Strand is still run by the Bass Family and is home to four floors of over 2.5 million used, new, and rare books, a wide array of bookish gifts, and fun literary events held almost every night of the week. From the dollar carts outside to the Rare Book Room on the third floor, and cheeky graffiti-ing throughout the store courtesy of Steve “EPSO” Powers, the iconic store now stands testament a place for book lovers to explore."
