Mary Alice Monroe to discuss new Beach House book May 11

May 5, 2021

The Lewes Public Library and Browseabout Books will host bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe for a discussion of her new book “The Summer of Lost and Found” in a live, online conversation at 5 p.m., Tuesday, May 11, via Zoom.

She will be joined in conversation by bestselling author Lisa Wingate.

Monroe’s new release in the Beach House series follows the historic Rutledge family of Charleston, S.C., during a summer of upheaval and change. Set against the backdrop of the 2020 pandemic, Linnea Rutledge faces a layoff from her beloved aquarium job and the return of an old flame from California who is quarantining next door. She finds that for her – and her family – finances, emotions and health teeter at the brink. As relationships are redefined, friendships are made and broken, and marriages are tested, Linnea and the Rutledge family face their challenges with perseverance, unity, and a dose of humor, discovering unexpected joys and lessons that will endure long past the season.

The discussion is free to the public. Registration is required. To sign up, go to lewes.lib.de.us and visit the Virtual Programs for Adults page.

Participants also are encouraged to support the author by purchasing a copy of the book from local independent bookstore Browseabout Books. Each copy purchased comes with an archival bookplate signed by the author. Orders may be placed online at browseaboutbooks.com, by calling the store at 302-226-2665, or in person at 133 Rehoboth Ave., Rehoboth Beach.
