SPRING HOURS:
Open Every Day 10 AM - 9 PM
 

Saturday, June 25th, Rob Kagan will be signing his book, NOAH'S REJECTS, from 2 to 4, on our porch.
 
A behind the scenes look at life on an island, off of an island, off the coast of America.  On the tiny resort island of Chappaquiddick, things are not always as they appear. It looks like paradise, it feels like paradise…it should be paradise. But for Rob Kagan, a summer-home caretaker, it’s a struggle to live amongst so much beauty while surviving so much dysfunction.
 
On Sunday, Elisa Speranza will be at Behind the Bookstore, signing her book, THE ITALIAN PRISONER, from 3 to 5.
 
"In 1943 New Orleans, Rose Marino lives with her Sicilian immigrant parents and helps in the family grocery store. Her older brother and sister both joined the Army, and Rose prays for their safety as World War II rages overseas. Her parents expect Rose to marry a local boy and start a family. But she secretly dreams of being more like her fiercely independent widowed godmother. Behind her parents' back, Rose lands a job at the shipyard, where she feels free and important for the first time in her life. When the parish priest organizes a goodwill mission to visit Italian prisoners of war at a nearby military base, Rose and her vivacious best friend Marie join the group. There, Rose falls for Sal, a handsome and intelligent POW. Italy has switched sides in the war, so the POWs are allowed out to socialize, giving Rose and Sal a chance to grow closer."
