Join us for an author event with Kristen Harmel presented by the Albert Carlton Cashiers Library 3 p.m. Friday, September 3 at the Commons Hall.  She is the author of The Book of Lost Names returning with an evocative coming-of-age World War II story, The Forest of Vanishing Stars is her recent novel about a young woman who uses her knowledge of the wilderness to help Jewish refugees escape the Nazis—until a secret from her past threatens everything.  She will share this newest release during this event.

Kristin Harmel is the New York Times bestselling, USA Today bestselling, and #1 international bestselling author of The Book of Lost Names, The Winemaker’s Wife, and a dozen other novels that have been translated into twenty-nine languages and are sold all over the world. She became a reporter for PEOPLE magazine while still in college and spent more than a decade working for the publication, covering everything from the Super Bowl to high-profile murders to celebrity interviews. Her favorite stories at PEOPLE, however, were the “Heroes Among Us” features—tales of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

Books will be available for sale and for the author to sign.  Please call the Cashiers library to make a reservation 828-743-0215.
