Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Rewriting Marguerite is a book of fiction set in Minnesota and Maui. In this debut novel, JacLynn Herron introduces Marguerite, otherwise known as MJ Burdick, an author of whodunits. This time, instead of guiding her characters through a mystery, MJ must solve her own, since the victim is her creative soul and the culprit, grief.In 2015, Marguerite, an octogenarian known by her readers and friends as MJ Burdick, encounters more than writer's block when she attempts to write her latest Minnesota-based mystery. A freakish bike accident, the latest defining moment, has claimed not only the life of her husband, Harry, but also her creative spirit. Supported from afar by a quirky writing group, she ventures alone to the tropical island of Maui to retap her creative source. Using a seventy-five-year-old gift from her mother to revisit her past, MJ attempts to revive her writer's soul by reflecting on the joys, strengths, sorrows, and shadows of her Minnesota upbringing. Her journey inward to reclaim self-acceptance and resiliency is nurtured by the Sato family local Maui residents whose elder is a World War II Nisei veteran with a Minnesota connection.
