Join Bridgeside Books in welcoming local author Lucy Andrews Cummin and local artist Carolyn Mecklosky for a book and art exhibit of The Hounds of Spring on Saturday, September 29th at 11:00 am.

About the Book: On a crisp April day in Philadelphia, Poppy Starkweather, in her mid-twenties, begins the rounds of her clients -- Penelope, Fauna, Horatio, Bliss, and Chutney, accompanied by her own hound, Spock -- assuming that this will be another ordinary day. Since abandoning a Ph.D. program in literature, Poppy has stumbled into walking dogs as a stopgap while she figures out what to do with her life. Although happy in a steady relationship, Poppy is leery of further commitment while in career limbo, fearing she might commit the age-old error of hiding from herself inside marriage. Shouldn't she get it all figured out first?
