Tales From The Shores Of Lake Erie

Join us Wednesday September 8th at 7:00 pm in the Main Library Auditorium to hear local author Linda Legeza’s tale of life, love, grief and chasing dreams on the waters of Lake Erie. Legeza has used the setting of Lake Erie and Northeastern Ohio as her muse in the novels Cooler Full of Fish and The Rainy Day House and is eager to share her love of the area with her audience.

In Cooler Full of Fish, the young Jeff Grabowski feels like he doesn’t know much about life, but he sure knows how to win fishing tournaments. While all of his friends are embarking on the pleasures of adulthood like going to college and getting married, Jeff is left to look after his alcoholic father and assume the burden of the family fishing charter business. Jeff soon finds himself at a crossroads, asking the big life question of “What’s my purpose?” and eventually sees how he can find happiness with fishing.

After losing her 17-year-old son in a car accident, Abby Richardson just can’t seem to put her grief behind her in The Rainy Day House. Abby’s marriage is falling apart and her boss is desperate for her to return to work to get started on an important project. Abby must escape and finds sanctuary in her family’s cottage in Lakeside, Ohio where she meets a man and young boy. The pair provides her with solace; however Abby soon begins to wonder if they are too dependent on her.

Copies of Legeza’s books Cooler Full of Fish and The Rainy Day House will be available for sale and signing following the program. As always, this Library program is free and open to the public.  Join us Wednesday, September 8th at 7 pm and learn to love Lake Erie all over again through Legeza’s heartfelt stories and kindhearted characters.
