—Vendela Vida, author of The Lovers and
Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name
“CJ Hauser’s debut novel, The From-Aways, is as charming, salty, and fresh as its setting in small-town Maine. Through her spunky heroines, Leah and Quinn, who have both come to Maine to find roots, Hauser tells an affecting story about lobsters, loyalty, and love.”
—Elliott Holt, author of You Are One of Them
