Thanksgiving in Connecticut

No place we've ever lived is safe...that is, safe from us using it as a setting for our stories! We lived in Stonington, Connecticut, at two different and very special times in our lives, so the residents there were long overdue for our literary treatment...

Talented photographer Paige Coleman has stayed away from her beloved seaside Connecticut village of Stonington ever since being mortified by ‘viral’ YouTube video that captured her in the buff at the top of a whaling ship at Mystic Seaport. 

Now, four years later, Paige decides that the time has come to face up to her past when her quirky, eighty-six-year-old grandmother throws the mother of all Thanksgivings to celebrate her recent marriage to ‘younger man’ Ed Fenwick. But with hometown god and former flame Stanley Fenwick, grandson of the groom, sure to be a part of every event, Paige must now protect her heart as well as retain her sanity, even as her cougar-turned-matchmaker grandmother uses every resource at her disposal to rekindle old fires of passion.

As Thanksgiving dinner looms, Paige must realize that the sacrifice of a little dignity is worth the New England home and family she has missed so much.

A TIMELY HEARTWARMING STORY FOR THE HOLIDAYS! 

"In true May McGoldrick style bringing together former flames for a second chance at love. You can feel yourself being part of the crazy chaotic nature of a large Thanksgiving gathering." - Reader Review

"This is so real to life I laughed and shook my head in disbelief all in the same chapter. Loved the inter-generational issues. The high talent of so many and yet the totally normal lives they lead. Read about Paige and Stanley, Shirley and Ed, Ryan and Bob, and enjoy your Thanksgiving Day." - Reader Review
