Oh, weep!!! My parents live in Westerly, I got married at the chapel across from the Ocean House (back when the Ocean House was a decaying pile of lumber), the Savoy is my favorite bookstore on the planet, my kids have crouched down to look in those little fairy doors since they were tiny... Wish I had been in the same place as you at the same time, which sounds creepy, and maybe is, but I just hiccupy-sobbed my way through your new book and maybe related a little too hard to being 16 in 1996. Anyway, thank you for your stories, and thank you for loving this place that I, too, love!!!

Loved reading this post! Just finished This Time Tomorrow while on vacation in Maine—could not put it down!
