When she becomes desperate for someone who understands, Maud shows up in her garden.Over cups of tea and long drives along the north shore of Lake Superior, they compare notes and hilarious observations about congregational life. But then news of her father`s death and the discovery of her mother`s betrayal drive Nicole to question everything about her family, her life, and even Maud. Winner of the 2022 Best Fiction Award from The Word Guild."In Maud and Me, Marianne Jones explores the inner isolation of Nicole, a woman resigned to her role as a pastor's wife in a small northern community. Nicole finds an ally in Lucy Maud Montgomery who appears in her garden and stays for a cup of tea. Kindred spirits, Nicole and Maud are separated by decades and death, but find companionship through their similar circumstances -- as minister's wives, as artists, as feminists constrained by propriety and expectation.Maud and Me reflects on the power of story to connect writers and readers and explores religiosity, art, mental wellness, parental abandonment and forgiveness for both the living and the dead. Marianne has drawn on her deep connection to Northwestern Ontario to render the setting for this sensitive and thoughtful story."-- Jean E.
