The Gallery at Bristol Pines

Shelley and her son Luke are recovering from a tragic life event and are making their new home in Bristol Pines, MA., a boutique ski village in the mountains above the hustle and bustle of Boston. Luke is a star soccer player and a good student who is finding his way in a new school and new community while Shelley is working hard to fulfill a life-long dream of owning and operating an art gallery.Alec is a divorced father of precocious twin girls, Olivia and Mia, who generally have different viewpoints on most things. He coaches baseball and has three history classes, one of which is Art History, not his strong suit. He meets Shelley while she prepares the new gallery space and strikes up a deal whereby she helps him with lesson plans, and he gives her insight into how the gallery operated when his grandparents owned it. Other interesting characters are integral to the story moving forward, complete with young love, coming of age, gallery preparation, and strong community support.
