Red Ruby Heart in a Cold Blue Sea by Morgan Callan Rogers
Thursday, February 23rd at 7:00 pm at Longfellow Books

When her mother disappears during a weekend trip, Florine Gilham's idyllic childhood is turned upside down. Until then she'd been blissfully insulated by the rhythms of family life in small town Maine. But with her mother gone, the heart falls out of Florine's life and she and her father are isolated as they struggle to manage their loss.

Both sustained and challenged by the advice and expectations of her family and neighbors, Florine grows up with her spirit intact. And when her father's past comes to call, she must accept that life won't ever be the same while keeping her mother vivid in her memories. With Fannie Flagg's humor and Elizabeth Strout's sense of place, this debut is an extraordinary snapshot of a bygone America through the eyes of an inspiring girl blazing her own path to womanhood.

Come meet Maine author, Morgan Callan Rogers, for a reading from her debut novel Red Ruby Heart in a Cold Blue Sea on Thursday, February 23rd at 7:00 pm at Longfellow Books. Call or e-mail to let us know if you'd like a book signed for you!
