The Caterpillar Girl
When it comes to growing up in a small town, especially Maine, there are two types of people. There are those who can't wait to get out. Those are the ones who need to spread their wings and search for greener pastures. That would be Amanda Kendrick. As far back as I remember, she wanted to be an actress. Whether it was film, TV, theater, or even commercials, Amanda had high aspirations of achieving her goals.
The other type of people are those who have no real desire to leave. They're content living, working, and dying all in their hometown. I suppose that would be me, Sam Calhoun. I'm not opposed to take a vacation or to travel here and there, but other than that, I like it here. My family is here, my friends are still here, and I'm very content helping run and eventually own my family's diner. I guess the only problem is, somewhere along the way, we both fell madly in love with one another. And therein lies the rub.

I really enjoyed this book from a local York, Maine author. He based the entire story on a Push Star/Chris Trapper song, Cadillac. The book reminded me of the many boy meets girl 80s movies I loved. Great characters who you grow to love and root for, and a very enjoyable story. The author really hopes this book may one day be turned into a movie, and I got definitely see it as one.

What a sweet story of friendships that last a life long with good times and bad times included. Jody tells a story like nobody else - makes the reader feel like he is speaking directly to you about his life and your friends!

Another Superb Book from Jody Clark
These books just keep getting better and better. The Caterpillar Girl was such a cool story and I loved seeing how all the characters developed and were intertwined. So good.
