About this Event
Kindred Thoughts invites you to join us for our 2nd Annual Summer Reading Series!
Join us Saturday, June 29th as we kick off our Summer Series with Sunny Hostin's new release, Summer on Highland Beach. If you've read Sunny's first two books in the series, you know we spent our first Summer on the Bluffs and then spent last Summer on Sag Harbor where all kinds of family tea had been spilled, so this summer we're picking up with Oliva's story as she travels to Highland Beach.
About the book:
The View cohost and three-time Emmy Award winner Sunny Hostin transports readers to Highland Beach in the captivating third novel of her New York Times bestselling Summer Beach series.
In this awakening, spirited novel, Sunny Hostin celebrates family, friendship, and community and reminds us of the importance of the legacies of our collective past and finding one's way in the world.
Founded in the late 1800s by the son of Frederick Douglass, Highland Beach along the Chesapeake Bay is the oldest Black resort community in America. Inside this proud and secluded beach community of about 100 private homes is Olivia Jones's legacy.
But Oliva's legacy comes with thorns--intertwined are secrets of her aunt's death; a controlling grandmother who is determined to crush anyone or anything that will interfere with her son's political career; and a father who wants to rebuild the family he rejected decades ago.
In the midst of tense family drama, Olivia must decide if she wants to return to the beautiful life she's created in Sag Harbor--with the neighbors and wonderful man who've become central to her happiness--or finally achieve her dream of having a family and home to call her own in Highland Beach.
The book is available for purchase on May 28th.
Lite refreshments will be provided but feel free to bring your favorite beverage.
