DeBlois has been getting great reviews! Come find out why! The story is especially meaningful for people with a connection to Lewiston and/or Franco Canadian heritage. The story follows Dee who brings her son to her hometown of Lewiston to visit Bates College. The pair are held hostage at Luiggi’s. Dee recognizes the gunman\, and then the novel goes back in time to show how Dee’s and the gunman’s families were connected\, primarily set in the 1960 to ’70s Lewiston. Dee eventually works through her trauma\, past and present\, and rediscovers all the good things about her childhood in Lewiston.\n\n\n\nAbout the author: Peggy Lafreniere DeBlois grew up in Lewiston\, Maine and is a proud graduate of Bowdoin College. She enjoyed careers in marketing\, journalism\, and teaching prior to devoting her time to writing. “The Toll Road North” is her first novel. She continues to be inspired by the gritty beauty in her hometown.
