Rogers [vividly] captures this era of Elvis records and small-town Maine fishing life.” —<i>Down East</i></b></div><p>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, <i>Red Ruby Heart in a Cold Blue Sea</i> is an extraordinary snapshot of a bygone America as seen through the eyes of an iconic New England girl.</p><p></p><div><p></p></div>
