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!!!
