The HCAS, sponsored and run by FOL, returns in May featuring local first-time author Don Ladolcetta. He will discuss his novel, Hannah: The Lighthouse Girl of Newfoundland.
The book is set in 1927 and was inspired by stories told to him by his mother. Nine-year-old Hannah is unsure what to expect when her large family moves from the fishing village where they have always lived to an isolated lighthouse on the coast of Newfoundland. The book chronicles all she faces, from the fury of Mother Nature and illness to the Great Depression and World War II.
Mr. Ladolcetta is an American-born grandson of a Newfoundland lighthouse keeper. This is his first historical fiction novel.
Tickets are $17 in advance and are on sale through May 9. You may also buy tickets at the door the day of the event for $20 as available. Please note, tickets will no longer be available in Second-Hand Prose.
Refreshments are included in the cost & will be served by Sweet Lemon Kitchen.
Lark & Owl Booksellers will be on hand to sell copies of Hannah: The Lighthouse Girl of Newfoundland, which the author will be happy to sign.
