“It’s not long before you begin to realize…things are slightly different in New England’s Up-Country”—T.W. Moore
While much has been written about the Maine “mystique,” rarely has anyone truly defined it. Is life in these parts really, “the way life should be,” or is it a clever ploy by tourism directors and other marketers, just to entice travelers northward for the summer?
With I Love Today—Musings from New England, Maine author and essayist, T.W. Moore definitively captures what many of us already know—life in New England and in particular, Maine, is full of happiness, joy, heartbreak and struggles—but ultimately, most of us have never thought of living anywhere else.
Moore captures the essence of being a Mainer, making his case with pithy, punchy prose, while detailing the magic of parenthood, the special experience of a Maine fourth of July celebration, as well as rooting for the Red Sox and touching on the most dreaded of subjects—taxes. I Love Today—Musings From New England is destined to be one of those reads that natives and others in the region look to in defining what it means to live in the far flung reaches of Northern New England.
