"A novel" - cover.

After losing her job and leaving her beloved husband, journalist Gemma Hendricks is sure that scoring an interview with Colin Firth will save her career and marriage. Yet a heart-tugging local story about women, family ties, love, and loss captures her heart. The story concerns Bea Crane, a floundering twenty-two-year-old who learns in a deathbed confession letter that she was adopted at birth. Bea is in Boothbay Harbor to surreptitiously observe her biological mother, Veronica Russo--something of a legend in town. Veronica, a diner waitress famous for her "healing" pies, has come home to Maine to face her past. These three women will discover more than they ever imagined in this coastal Maine town, buzzing with hopes of Colin Firth.
