 ND LUCIAN An epic and engrossing debut novel about identical twin brothe
 rs\, the woman they both love\, and the secrets at the heart of the beau
 tiful\, rugged Maine island they call home The McCauleys have raised the
 ir twin sons on Shep’s Island\, just off the coast of Maine: Egan wants 
 to be a professional athlete\, Lucian a painter\, following in the foots
 teps of their complicated and distant mother. Growing up in the wake of 
 a childhood accident that marked both boys—one physically\, one emotiona
 lly—they are inseparable until Lucian quietly begins to wonder who he mi
 ght be with no mirror image walking beside him. On a trip abroad\, Lucia
 n meets Lea\, who follows him home to idyllic Shep’s Island. When a shoc
 king family secret comes to light\, Lea flees back to the mainland—not w
 ith Lucian but with his twin\, Egan\, whose connection with Lea is immed
 iate and undeniable. The years will pass with Lea caught between the two
  brothers. Even when she decides to begin a life on Shep’s Island with o
 ne of them\, fate will continue to bring these three into one another’s 
 orbit. The island\, with its shifting shoreline and harsh beauty\, echoe
 s the changing colors of their familial and romantic love. Rose Smith’s 
 debut novel feels like an instant classic as it traces the McCauleys acr
 oss the seasons and the decades\, mapping the slow erosion and quiet res
 ilience of people who have loved each other imperfectly and at great cos
 t. About\n\nMore info: https://www.firstlightaustin.com/events/rose-smit
