We are so excited to be welcoming back to the bookstore the wonderful Kate Braestrup, author of the beloved and best-selling memoir, Here If You Need Me.

In Here If You Need Me, Braestrup tells the story of her husband, Drew, a state trooper who died on the job before he could fulfill his desire to become an ordained minister. In her grief and healing, Braestrup discovered she wanted to carry on his legacy. She went to seminary and became a Maine Game Warden Chaplain. She tells the story of her journey and work with the Game Wardens beautifully with wisdom, clarity and humor.

In her new book, Marriage and Other Acts of Charity, Braestrup takes her experiences counseling game wardens and their spouses and shares her simple, profound advice. She also shares about finding new love after the death of her husband and the father of her four children. Braestrup has great heart, useful and commonsense advice, and stories that will absolutely break your heart.
