My hometown is Machias, Maine. "Machias" is a Native American word meaning "Bad Little Falls", which is the small waterfall that runs through the middle of town.
I saw this book on a list a while back and the title caught my attention, thinking it was a coincidence because no one has heard of our tiny little town... but it turns out this author had so I immediately added it to my TBR!

I wonder if I'll recognize anyone...
