Produktbeschreibung

Is there really such a thing as a found family? Mackie wants to know....

Mackenzie's single mother had always told her they didn't need family, they had each other. Bereft when her mother died, Mackenzie left Boston for a Canadian fishing village, Stella Mare, seeking the father she never knew. Finding Eric was easy, but he'd never heard of her, and besides, he was hardly the father of her childhood dreams. But he did have a home, a family, and a community in this little village. Things Mackenzie wanted, maybe even needed. All she had was a dog, a laptop, a temporary gig house-sitting in Stella Mare, and a burning desire to join the family she should have known. When she reveals her secret, tragedy intervenes. Left with a choice, should she run away like her mother did, or risk trying to connect? You'll root for Mackie as she tries to understand her mysterious mother and experiencing life in Stella Mare, including fishing, kitchen parties, cribbage, and Declan, the handsome high school teacher. This story of small-town family life in the Canadian Maritimes highlights food, music and culture of the Bay of Fundy in the context of a dynamic family story that crosses generations as well as borders.

Autorenporträt

Annie M. Ballard writes about the lives of women and the people who love them from her home in the Canadian Maritimes. Born and raised in New England, she brings a fondness for music, baking, small-town life, and the remarkable shared ancestry of Maritimers and New Englanders to her work. Having found her own Maritime roots later in life, she seeks to make the most of her mixed heritage and embraces both "ayuh" and "eh."
