title: The Tavern on Maple Street
author: Owens, Sharon
description: At the end of a cobblestone path is a quaint Victorian pub untouched by the modern world. That's why it's a favorite among locals, and that's the way its owners, Jack and Lily Beaumont, want it. More than a business, it's a family tradition whose loyal following comes in to dream and reminisce over a cool stout. It's an inspiration for its young barmaids, each with her own private passion. It's the last chance for people like writer Liam Bradley and his vulnerable wife, Betsy. And the last stop for a developer who threatens to rock the foundation of all Jack and Lily have fought so hard for. But there's a secret about the tavern on Maple Street that no one knows. Once discovered, it'll raise the stakes even further, and it'll redefine the meanings of love, friendship, and family in the most surprising ways...
