| Publisher Description: Based on the popular play by the same name, John Cariani's Almost, Maine is an interlinked collection of heartwarming and heartbreaking YA stories that will have you thinking about love in an entirely new way. Welcome to Almost, Maine, a town that's so far north, it's almost not in the United States--it's almost in Canada. And it almost doesn't exist, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it's just . . . Almost. One cold, clear Friday night in the middle of winter, while the northern lights hover in the sky above, Almost's residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost and found. And life for the people of Almost, Maine will never be the same. |
Contributor Bio(s): Cariani, John: - John Cariani is an actor and a playwright. He has appeared on and off Broadway in Something Rotten and The Band's Visit. When up-and-coming director Gabe Barre asked if he could take a look at all of the short plays John had written for the show, he noticed that many of them were surreal love stories, all set on a cold winter's night in a strange little non-town in far northern Maine. He said, "There's a play here. Almost." And the rest is history. |
