Broken for You-by Stephanie Kallos
“National best seller and Today show Book Club selection, Broken for You is the story of two women in self-imposed exile whose lives are transformed when their paths intersect. Stephanie Kallos's debut novel is a work of infinite charm, wit and heart. It is also a glorious homage to the beauty of broken things. When we meet septuagenarian Margaret Hughes, she is living alone”..

In 2010 on a rainy day on the western side of Cadillac Mountain, not even Kerry Gallivan’s iPhone could provide him with the info he needed to navigate his route. Shortly thereafter, he teamed with Shaun Meredith to launch Chimani, the leading developer of mobile apps to help you explore the outdoors. In October, the company announced it had raised $745K from investors including the Maine Venture Fund, Maine Technology Institute, Maine Angels, and early Facebook employee Steve King. Kerry will speak about launching Chimani, accelerating beyond startup, and finding investors to fuel growth.

John William Babin will discuss his new book-“Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in Portland: The Fireside Poet of Maine”, by author John William Babin and Alan M. Levinsky, Forward by Herb Adams
“When Peleg Wadsworth built his family home on Congress Street in 1786, he could see the Fore River from his front door. The city grew up around the structure as the Wadsworth-Longfellow family flourished and made history within its walls and the fabric of young America's culture and government. Peleg's daughter, Zilpah Wadsworth, married Stephen Longfellow IV on the first floor, and they raised their eight children in the home with love and high standards. Their second-eldest son, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, wrote his first childhood poem there before going on to pen great classics including "Paul Revere's Ride" and Evangeline. Young Henry watched his father help craft the Maine Constitution and experienced revolutionary ideals of his home city. Step inside the historic Longfellow House and explore the city that shaped a beloved American poet.” from-Book Depository. com
