In "Quarantined in Maplewood," dive into a small town where love and laughter persist even as the world is turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic. Meet Elara, a nurse practitioner whose idea of a fun night in her cozy clinic does not include battling a global pandemic. With her trusty sidekick Megan, who can find humor in even the most dire of glove shortages, Elara navigates the chaos with wit, coffee, and an occasional wish for a more potent drink.
