Marisa de los Santos at Browseabout Oct. 9

Browseabout Books will host author Marisa de los Santos as she signs her newest book, "Falling Together," beginning at 4 p.m. Sunday Oct. 9.  The best-selling author has appeared at Browseabout for both of her previous novels, "Love Walked In" and "Belong to Me."

Marisa grew up in Baltimore and northern Virginia and holds a doctorate in literature and creative writing. She first achieved literary success with her poetry collection, "From the Bones Out." In 2003, she and her husband, writer David Teague, moved to Wilmington. It was then that she began to hear the voice of Cornelia Brown in her head. The voice would become the main character of "Love Walked In," published in 2006. It has since been published in 14 languages and optioned for a film from Paramount Pictures. Her second novel, "Belong to Me," was released in 2008 and became an instant bestseller.

"Falling Together" is the unforgettable tale of a remarkable friendship that ended abruptly, only to be resurrected in years later at a college reunion. Three formerly devoted companions and reluctant family members embark on a sobering, enlightening journey across the world and through the past. Brimming with the author's trademark wit, vivid prose and captivating characterizations, "Falling Together" is an emotionally resonant, powerfully moving and pitch-perfect novel about friends, family and love.

Browseabout Books is at 133 Rehoboth Ave. in Rehoboth Beach.
