In the bestselling tradition of The Friday Night Knitting Club and The Jane Austen Book Club, three women find unexpected answers, happiness, and one another with Meryl Streep movies as their inspiration. Two sisters and the cousin they grew up with after a tragedy are summoned home to their family matriarch's inn on the coast of Maine for a shocking announcement. Suddenly, Isabel, June, and Kat are sharing the attic bedroom—and barely speaking. But when innkeeper Lolly asks them to join her and the guests in the parlor for weekly Movie Night—it's Meryl Streep month—they find themselves sharing secrets, talking long into the night—and questioning everything they thought they knew about life, love, and one another. Each woman sees her complicated life reflected through the magic of Isabel's husband is having an affair, and an old pact may keep her from what she wants most . . . June has promised her seven-year-old son that she'll somehow find his father, who he's never known . . . and Kat is ambivalent about accepting her lifelong best friend's marriage proposal. Through everything, Lolly has always been there for them, and now Isabel, June, Kat—and Meryl—must be there for her. Finding themselves. Finding each other. Finding a happy ending.
Author

I'm the author of THE MERYL STREEP MOVIE CLUB (2012, Simon & Schuster) and FINDING COLIN FIRTH, Simon & Schuster, 2013 (a spin-off of TMSMC). I live on the coast of Maine, the setting of the novels, with my teenaged son and our sweet shepherd mix (Flash) and our very comical lap cat, Cleo. Of course, I'm a huge Meryl Streep fan, and I've been swooning over Colin Firth since I first saw him in the BBC version of Pride & Prejudice back in the mid 90s. (I'm also crazy about Then She Found Me.) I'm not only a movie fan—I'm a huge reader. My favorite books range from childhood favorites such as Anne of Green Gables and Little Women (I always liked to think those March sisters were my own :) and current favorite authors include Elin Hilderbrand, Marisa de los Santos, Beth Hoffman, Jennifer Weiner, Kristin Hannah, Anne Lamott, Richard Russo, Stephen King, Anne Tyler, Maeve Binchy, Claire Cook, Jennifer Crusie, Elizabeth Berg, and many more. I love big-hearted, emotional novels about life and love. I also love memoirs and all kinds of non-fiction. Life is non-stop learning! Feel free to email me at authormiamarch @ gmail.com
