The Road Back

I bought The Road Back for $20 at a Memorial Day cookout in Falmouth. The author, Kathleen Madden, is my friend Lisa’s cousin. I was called upon to attend the family get together at Jane and John’s because the crazy Ohio cousins were visiting for the Boston wedding of Steve Madden’s son. (Not THE Steve Madden!) The Ohio cousins are the kids of Lisa’s mother’s brother Phil. Kathy is the daughter of Lisa’s mother’s brother Hank.

It was a great party. Not only did I eat steamers, but I received an invite to another cousin’s son’s Charleston, SC wedding in the fall. And I was really impressed to meet Kathy, the published author of her own memoir. wickedlocal news

Update: I did indeed attend the wedding in November. I fell in love with Charleston, visited Fort Sumter, and had an adventure filled weekend — my first overnight trip — with my friend Lisa, who informed me that I’m the WORST snorer she has ever heard!
