ABOUT THE BOOK

Inn Mates: An Innkeeper’s Memoir is about Teri and her husband Jeffrey Anderholm, who ditched their corporate lives in Boston and bought a once grand dilapidated inn destined for the wrecking ball in Bar Harbor, Maine.  Creative chaos ensued before it was transformed into one of the top inns in New England.  The inn was a passion, sometimes a prison while offering 5-star hospitality to a parade of guests who taught them lessons of gratitude, humility, love and laughter in the midst of life’s hurricanes.

"Hugely entertaining! Brightly written and full of eye-popping tales of human frailty and hubris, this memoir reads like a suspense novel.  I couldn’t put it down."

—Monica Wood, author of The One-in-a-Million Boy, When We Were the Kennedy’s, and How to Read a Book (Harpers Collins Publishers)
