Some things are better the second time.
Lorri Oliver opened a restaurant at sixty and her second adolescence at the same time. In Thornbury, Connecticut, in a red leather booth with the lights turned low, she has been quietly relearning what it means to want something - and to reach for it without apology.
The Yearbook is where it starts: a snowy Friday night, a man from her high school, a 1981 yearbook open between them, and ninety minutes that change everything.
The Impala is where it deepens: a 1960 Chevrolet, fire engine red, driven by a craftsman who has kept it for forty-four years because some things, once you have them, you don't let go of.
This volume collects the first two books in the Something in the Water series - a story about a woman in her second act who has decided, without apology, that desire is a serious subject and she intends to treat it that way.
Welcome to Thornbury. Mind the booth.
Lorri Ryan Oliver has spent most of her adult life feeding people - first as a restaurant industry professional, and later as the owner of a small restaurant in a small Connecticut town that somehow became the center of a very large world.
She came to writing the way most people come to the things that matter - sideways, late, and wondering why it took so long.
The Something In The Water series grew from a simple observation: that women of a certain age have stories that are funny and warm and occasionally breathtaking, and that nobody had been telling them quite right.
She is doing her best to fix that.
Lorri lives in the Litchfield Hills area of Connecticut, where the autumn lasts exactly as long as it should and the coffee is always on and the stories never run out.
