“I’m reading ‘The Stepping Off Place’ by Maine author Cameron Rosenblum. It’s a beautiful story of loss and hope set in a small Connecticut town. It’s a deep dive into being left behind, while finding the hope in the healing process. It’s the perfect beach book read, with mystery and romance and the intersection between those late teen years and adulthood, chock-full of scenes that make you laugh out loud, and pull your hat down to cry. Highly recommended!” — JULIE KINGSLEY, South Portland
