The New York Times best selling author of Beach House Reunion, Mary Alice Monroe found her true calling in environmental fiction when she moved to coastal South Carolina. Her experiences living in the midst of a habitat that was quickly changing gave her a strong and important focus for her novels, including her most recent offering, On Ocean Boulevard. Monroe will share how she was captivated by and found inspiration in the beauty and fragility of her new home, and provide the audience with a sneak peek at her forthcoming book The Summer of Lost & Found. Books will be available for purchase and signing following the luncheon, and guests may pre-order copies of The Summer of Lost & Found.
