Author Event: Annie Hartnett

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. 

Whether you’ve already read and loved THE ROAD TO TENDER HEARTS or you’re looking for your first great read for the summer, come out for an evening of fun.
