The Maine Point is a seafaring, family love story spanning four generations; it's the tale of three roses: Mary Rose, Stella Rose, and Anna Rose. These brave and beautiful women, connected by blood and the Kennebec River, illuminate how Maine tides can bring a family home, and how home is a synonym for love. Continuing the story of her award-winning novel Daughters of Long Reach, author Irene M. Drago views history through a personal lens and invites readers to feel the effect of sweeping world events on mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, and lovers, too. Join us on Zoom to chat about her passion for history and why it matters!

Award-winning author Irene M. Drago grew up in a Navy family. Before moving to Maine, she worked for the Defense Department as a Russian analyst, earned a Master of Arts degree in Spanish language and literature, and taught at the high school and college level. When she fell under the spell of a historic home in Bath, she convinced her husband to follow her to the coast of Maine where she was inspired to write Daughters of Long Reach and its sequel, The Maine Point. Ms. Drago is the recipient of a Next Generation Indie Book Award and a Spirit of Bath Award. In the summer, she and her husband enjoy piloting their boat around Casco Bay with their children and grandchildren.
