Maine Author, Morgan Callan Rogers

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.

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!
