Have fun!
These are Joy's grandmother's last words-left behind on a note. A note that Joy's mother, Grace, has interpreted as instructions for her memorial service. And so, the far-flung clan will gather at their inn on Little Island, Maine, to honor her.
Joy can't help dreading the weekend. Twenty years ago, a tragedy nearly destroyed the family-and still defines them. Joy, Grace, her father Gar, and twins Roger and Tamar all have their parts to play. And now Joy, facing an empty nest and a nebulous future, feels more vulnerable than ever to the dangerous currents running through her family.
But this time, Joy will discover that there is more than pain and heartbreak that binds them together, when a few simple words lift the fog and reveal what truly matters...
Katharine has a Master's degree in Creative Writing from Dartmouth College. Her screenplay Goodbye Don't Mean Gone, on which Vanishing Time was based, was a Moondance Film Festival winner and a finalist in the New England Women in Film and Television contest. When not writing, Katharine can often be found in her Vermont garden, waging a non-toxic war against slugs, snails, deer, woodchucks, squirrels, chipmunks, moles, voles, and beetles. Katharine's defense consists mainly of hand-wringing after the fact. Also by Katharine Britton: Her Sister's Shadow and Little Island.
