Produktbeschreibung
Paul Hereford does not feel like someone who is coming home. As he turns onto the two-lane road leading into his hometown-Chouteauville, Missouri-he has no idea he is about to embark on a life-changing odyssey that will bring him both heartache and a redemption he didn't know he needed. After decades of a political life and a literary career on the East Coast, Paul buys a plot of land in Chouteauville and settles in his new haven to write one more book. He is the author of numerous obscure novels, but now he's trying something he's never done before: serious nonfiction. As he seeks out former friends and new acquaintances, however, the writing becomes more difficult, the memories become clearer, and the characters become more familiar. Paul's childhood best friend, his high school crush, and the little neighbor girl are just a few of the people that create the seasoned writer's new world-and help him understand exactly what he needs. The Vampires of Eden shares one man's evocative journey of atonement and the pursuit of peace as he discovers the past is never really past.

Autorenporträt
The author attests that Meet Me at St. Margaret's closes a series, begun with The Vampires of Eden, followed by Florissant Girls, which evolved of its own accord. He had to let certain characters migrate across the narratives. He got stuck on the Margaret character, in particular. Her story became his mission; as he was drawn back to the spiritual deposits of his Catholic upbringing. His treatment of the soul's progress against the currents of life brought him into fleeting contact with the verities that always sanctify the human spirit.
