FORKS – Six teenage girls and two moms spent a twilight at Second Beach.
Characters and scenery that had existed only on the pages of the books, Twilight, New Moon and newly released Eclipse – by Arizona author Stephenie Meyer – seemed to leap to life as the group from Beaverton, Ore., wandered the real-life settings in Forks and LaPush of the fictional books, published by Little, Brown and Co.
In Twilight, the first book of the series set in Forks, the main character, Bella, is a teenage girl who leaves her mother’s house in Phoenix to move in with her policeman father in misty, mysterious Forks.
There, she meets an extraordinarily attractive boy vampire – Edward Cullen – and his handsome vampire family who are doing their best to live as upstanding citizens, refraining from the usual nocturnal stalking of humans.
Romance and adventure ensue.
