'Ever the Twain Shall Meet' is Michael C. Connolly's second historical novel, set in Portland during the turbulent 1930s and 1940s. A story of love, survival, and cultural clashes, the novel explores the intersection of people from highly different Maine families and weaves together two controversial murder cases; one involving the murder of Portland Police officer Michael T. Connolly in 1930, and the other the South Paris double homicide of Dr. James and Lydia Littlefield in 1937. Join us to learn more about Connolly's latest book and the history that inspired the story!
