Rave Reviews
"As you know, I love a story being told from the perspective of a closet in a Maine summer home. Not only is the idea an original one, but also being native to Maine adds a particular charm and perspective on the world and the visitors who populate its villages every summer. I think it has great potential to be a truly captivating story or set of stories for the reader."
—Sharon Bray, Wellspring Writers
