SOMETIMES, THE RIGHT PLACE IS EXACTLY WHERE YOU IMAGINE IT. SOMETIMES, IT’S WHERE YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. AND SOMETIMES, IT’S WHERE YOU’VE BEEN ALL ALONG. ALL ARE SEEKING REFUGE. A homemaker attempts to run beyond a family tragedy. A musician thinks he’s covered his tracks and won’t be found. A lawyer rejects the plan his father lays out for him. An Englishman finds himself the possessor of a house a world away from home. In these fifteen stories set on the remote and rural coast of Maine, choice, necessity, history, and serendipity combine to lead seekers and fugitives to discover the places where they truly belong. Lee's second short story collection certainly does not disappoint. Following up her award-winning debut Island Secrets: Stories from the Coast of Maine , Lee continues her storytelling prowess with more adventures in the fictional place she calls Way Down East. The 15 stories cover a wide arc of experience . . . I thoroughly enjoyed this masterful collection of superb storytelling. ~R.J. Heller, The Quoddy Tides
