Guests: Tara Taylor Quinn and Tim Barney

Angelica is excited to welcome Tara Taylor Quinn and Tim Barney to the show today.  They will be discussing their book, It Happened on Maple Street.  Naïve, sheltered, and bookish Tara Gumser is a smalltown Ohio 'good girl' with one enduring dream—to write for Harlequin—until she meets Tim Barney in a college geology class and adds another dream to her list. But life has other, far less pleasant plans for Tara, although she soon succeeds at carving out a stellar professional career. It isn't until decades later, when an out-of-the-blue email from Tim reunites them, that the cruel betrayal and emotional devastation of Tara's past are finally laid to rest, and she and Tim are given another chance at love. Told from alternating viewpoints (Tara's and Tim's), this introspective, soul-searing story takes its protagonists on a turbulent journey from angst-ridden teenage insecurity and painful self-doubt to adult understanding and acceptance and leaves them stronger, more resilient, and more sure of their love.
