Lieutenant
America
and Miss Apple
Pie
“Beautifully
detailed stories, bathed
in warmth.”
— Kirkus Reviews
In
twelve stories, many set
in his home state of
Maine, Tom DeMarco
introduces us to a cast
of memorable characters.
Among them: a
fashionable grand dame
who comes undone at the
Rose Festival Boxed
Lunch Social; a boy
whose encounter with a
beautiful wood sprite
connects him to his
dying grandfather;
Jasper the handyman, who
makes a surprise visit
at his own funeral; and
a management consultant
who can rescue a huge
corporation but cannot
fix his personal
life.
In the title novella,
we follow the life of a
remarkable lawyer and
her relationship with a
WW1 war hero.
Karen Fisk,
writing in The Maine
Times contrasts DeMarco
with author Evelyn
Waugh.
“DeMarco’s
pen is light, honest but
indulgent. Whereas Waugh
seemed to loathe his
characters, DeMarco
loves his.” And so
will you!
