About this Event
Join us on Sunday, May 17, at the bookstore as Annie joins us to chat all about her book - a favorite from our 2025 Summer Reading Guide, as well as her inspiration, writing process and more.

Annie has been awarded fellowships and residencies from MacDowell, Sewanee Writers' Conference, and the Associates of the Boston Public Library.
