That Year in Boston cover

It was the year of the Boston Marathon bombing, the year of the Red Sox's championship, and the year the city's most prestigious publishing house was fighting for its life. It was the year Flo Wright relocated from New York to save Churchill & Co. and hired freelance editor, Nick Turner, to help her. But a hastily acquired memoir threatens disaster and sends the editors to Rio in search of the truth. Can Nick resist his powerful attraction to talented and seductive Flo who's already married? That year in Boston, fraught with dangerous love and tragic loss, changes their lives, and the city, forever.

A story of the love between families, friends, and lovers that binds us through life's brief journey, That Year in Boston is also a love letter to the splendid city itself. The characters and events remind us of the ephemeral nature of all we experience. Savor each page of Spilsbury's lovely prose as you do each day of your life. -- P. K. Newby, Finisher of the Boston Marathon 2013, www.pknewby.com
