It's the summer of great beach reads on the Front Porch! This month we travel to Chincoteague Island. And, Linny this very next weekend is, in real life, on her way to the shore right near Chincoteague! But, in our book this month, CATCHING STARS, Lindy Colton tries to forget her violent father by leaving her beloved mom and their home on Chincoteague Island to chase her dream of becoming a famous potter. Soon, she seems to be achieving all she could ever desire, including an engagement to the rich, charismatic Hayward Livingston. But, as that relationship curdles into a replica of her mother's abuse at the hands of Lindy's father, Lindy travels back to Chincoteague Island to rediscover who she is and where is home. Nancy and Linny talk about the themes of intergenerational domestic violence and why they love the characters of Celeste and Tucker. Nancy recalls her recent pottery throwing class and Linny reminisces about her high school experience snaking a lump of clay into a mug.
