Thorndike Press has been my home for almost 17 years, allowing me to talk about one of my true passions,
reading fiction, print preferably. Spending at least two days a week in a library volunteering throughout
my pre-teen and teen years, I always found myself distracted reading when I was supposed to be shelving
the books. Thankfully, the librarian at the New Gloucester Public Library in Maine, encouraged this
distraction with only a few nudges asking me to at a minimum put away the few I had in my hands. My
passion for reading has only grown, which I passed on to my three beautiful girls. One would think,
being a full-time working mom of three teenage girls would leave me with little time to read. However, I
have always found a few minutes to do what I love, read a novel that I can lose myself in, travel back to a
different time period, live a life that I fantasize about, or be Sherlock Holmes as I am trying to figure out
where this Mystery novel is taking me. I am proud to say that I work at Thorndike Press, working with
people who love what they do as much as I do, talking to librarians who have the same passion as I have
and working for a company that has always encouraged me to put our family first, allowing me to be an
involved and active mom!

I
highly
recommend
anything
by
Jojo
Moyes
and
her
most
recent
title
available
this
month
in
large
print,
The
Ship
of
Brides,
will
not
let
you
down!
Jojo
Moyes
has
an
amazing
way
of
telling
a
story.
Emotionally
attaching
myself
to
the
characters,
I
am
always
wanting
to
know
what
the
next
page
brings.
The
Ship
of
Brides
follows
four
Australian
war
brides
—
Jean,
Margaret,
Avice
and
Frances
—
as
they
travel
from
Australia
—
to
England.
Moyes
has
a
way
of
describing
her
characters
so
that
you
feel
their
emotions
and
have
a
true
understanding
of
their
story.
Secrets
are
revealed
and
friendships
are
formed,
revealing
what
is
was
like
to
live
as
these
women
in
the
1940s.
Having
a
passion
for
historical
fiction,
I
found
myself
equally
enjoying
the
details
and
accuracy
—
leaving
me
with
a
great
appreciation
for
the
research
that
allowed
me
to
lose
myself
in
this
novel.
This
is
a
fantastic
novel
that
you
want
to
keep
reading
and
leaves
you
looking
forward
to
what
Jojo
Moyes
will
bring
to
us
next.
