Fresh talent CJ Hauser makes her literary debut with an irreverent story of family, love, friendship, and lobsters. Two women arrive in Maine seeking family, only to discover unexpected love, heartbreak, and friendship in a small fishing town. Leah, a young New York reporter, falls for Henry, captivated by his freckles, green thumb, and childhood stories. They marry quickly, and Leah persuades Henry to return to Menamon. As she builds her life there, working for The Menamon Star and striving to be less of an emotional screw-up, the couple realizes they don’t know each other as well as they thought. Meanwhile, Quinn, after her mother’s death, seeks out her estranged father, a famous folk singer in Menamon. With her scrappy attitude, she secures a job at the local paper and an apartment above the diner, all while mustering the courage to meet her father. Unexpectedly, she falls for her roommate, Rosie. As their work relationship at The Star evolves into a deep friendship, they uncover a story that disrupts the town and has serious consequences for Leah’s husband and Quinn’s roommate. Amid the ensuing turmoil, both women must confront what kind of lives they are willing to fight for.
