“We are so excited to welcome back our customers to an in-person author event at the library, our first since the pandemic began. Jennifer Weiner is such a popular author with our customers, and we are thrilled to bring her to Harford County and to be the first stop on her in-person book tour for her new book,” said Mary Hastler, CEO of Harford County Public Library. “As we get closer to beach time, ‘The Summer Place’ is sure to be a page-turning summer read this year.”
Described as “the undisputed boss of the beach read” by The New York Times, Weiner’s new book, “The Summer Place,” is a testament to family in all its messy glory. It’s a story about what we sacrifice and how we forgive. Enthralling, witty, big-hearted and sharply observed, this book is Weiner’s love letter to the Outer Cape and the power of home, the way our lives are enriched by the people we call family and the endless ways love can surprise us.
