"An authentic page turner.... Rogers vividly] captures this era of Elvis records and small-town Maine fishing life." --Down East
In 1963, twelve-year-old Florine Gilham enjoys an idyllic childhood in small-town Maine--until her beloved mother vanishes. Untethered and adrift in the wake of her disappearance, Florine finds her once-cherished joys--watching her father's lobster boat come into port, baking bread with her grandmother, and causing mischief with the summer folk--suddenly ring hollow. When a figure from her father's past comes calling, Florine must find the courage to lay down roots of her own. Set against the gorgeous backdrop of the Maine coast, Red Ruby Heart in a Cold Blue Sea is an extraordinary snapshot of a bygone America as seen through the eyes of an iconic New England girl.
