So Happy Together

CAN THAT CAPE COD MAGIC SET YOU FREE?

Maryann McFadden, author of SO HAPPY TOGETHER (Hyperion; July 7, 2009; Hardcover; $23.99)

SO HAPPY TOGETHER sweeps readers away to the fabled beaches and light of Cape Cod. This summer romance tells the story of a woman who is pulled back to her responsibilities as both a mother and a daughter just as she is about to embark on her own adventure. Over the course of one tumultuous season among the windswept dunes of the Cape, with her estranged daughter, dysfunctional father and mother, and handsome lover in tow, Claire realizes that some dreams set us back while many realities set us free.

Along with discussing why romantic Cape Cod is the perfect setting for a summer get-away, Maryann can speak to being a part of the "Sandwich Generation" and provide tips on how to survive that middle place. Originally a self-published author, Maryann is happy to discuss the fascinating, challenging journey she took from selling copies out of the trunk of her car to being represented by a major publishing house.
