   Letter from the Editor
Dear Patron:

Two of the best things about my job are the chance to discover wonderful writers and the chance to tell you about them.

Just such writer is Mary Alice Monroe. Living on one of the barrier islands off the coast of Charleston, SC, Mary Alice is an active conservationist, a passion that is reflected in many of her books, such as The Beach House and its sequel, Swimming Lessons.

But she is so much more than that. Mary Alice Monroe writes richly textured stories that intimately portray the complex and emotional relationships we share with families, friends, and the natural world. “Every book that Mary Alice Monroe has written has felt like a homecoming to me,” writes Pat Conroy, bestselling author of The Prince of Tides. Time Is a River is an insightful novel that will sweep readers away to the seductive landscape of the south, joining books by authors such as Anne Rivers Siddons and Sue Monk Kidd.

Recovering from breast cancer and reeling from her husband's infidelity, Mia Landan flees her Charleston home to heal in the mountains near Asheville, North Carolina. She seeks refuge in a fishing cabin belonging to her fly-fishing instructor. Using a journal found by Mia in the long-unused cabin, Monroe weaves the story of a celebrated fly fisherwoman from the 1920s around the story of modern-day Mia in a way that explores and celebrates the common experiences of all women.

Mary Alice Monroe narrated the audio version of Time Is a River for Brilliance Audio, and having her in our Grand Haven studios was like having an old friend come to visit, and tell us stories. She has a warm, lyrical voice as a narrator that is rare in authors.

My pitch to you is this: if you haven’t read Mary Alice Monroe—if you haven’t heard her on audio—take a chance. I don’t think you’ll be sorry. She’s an author you will love to hand sell. She speaks to each of us about the things that truly matter.
