The Second Sister- A Book Signing and Discussion with Author Marie Bostwick

LITCHFIELD, Conn. - June 2, 2015 - PRLog -- Years of long workdays and little sleep as a political campaigner are about to pay off now that Lucy Toomey’s boss is entering the White House. But when her estranged old sister, Alice, unexpectedly dies, Lucy is drawn back to Nilson’s Bay, her small, close-knit, Wisconsin hometown. From New York Times bestselling author Marie Bostwick comes an emotionally rich, inspiring new novel about family, second chances - and the connections that bring women together in hope and healing.

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Marie Bostwick had a rich and varied background on her path to becoming a novelist - from working in the bean fields of Oregon to singing and dancing in musical productions. She found her true calling while on vacation when she attended a writer’s workshop. Since then Marie has published over ten books, including Fields of Gold, River’s Edge and On Wings of the Morning. Drawing on her lifelong love of quilting and themes of special relevance to modern women, Marie’s Cobbled Court Quilt series has gained a dedicated following.

Today Marie lives in Connecticut with Brad, her husband of thirty-one years. When not writing or volunteering for her church, she enjoys quilting, watching movies and sipping tea on the front porch with her friends, and spending time with her family. Marie travels extensively, speaking at libraries, bookstores, quilt guilds, and at quilt shows. Visit her website at mariebostwick.com.
