SUMMARY:Author Event with Marybeth Whalen
DESCRIPTION:The nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center will host an evening with author Marybeth Whalen in conversation with Cassandra King\, at the Conroy Center (601 Bladen St.\, Beaufort) on May 7 from 5-6:30. Books will be available for sale and signing. Seating is limited for this free event; please call in advance to reserve: 843-379-7025. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR:Marybeth Mayhew Whalen is the author of Every Moment Since and 9 previous novels. Marybeth received a BA in English with a concentration in Writing and Editing from NC State University a long time ago and has been writing ever since. She is the co-founder of The Book Tide\, an online community of readers where “a rising tide raises all books.” Marybeth and her husband Curt are the parents of six kids who are now all in various stages of adulting. A native of Charlotte\, NC\, Marybeth now calls Sunset Beach\, NC home. \nABOUT THE BOOK:A story about finding hope in the face of hardship and connection in the face of crisis\, Handle with Care is a novel for our time. \n“Rich with complex characters\, a tightly woven plot and natural suspense.” –Belle Burden\, author of Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage \nThree women walk into a post office. This is no joke–it’s the spark that ignites a life-altering crisis. \nOn a quiet spring afternoon\, an ordinary small-town post office becomes ground zero for a domestic dispute. A husband draws a weapon and seals the doors\, holding four women captive: his frightened wife\, a young woman searching for meaning amid uncertainty\, a mother on the brink of letting go as her only daughter graduates\, and an elderly woman concealing a secret that could shatter everything she knows. \nOutside\, the negotiator works to keep a fragile peace\, forced to confront her own issues as every word becomes a lifeline. \nEach of the three women who walked into the post office is carrying something that\, if mailed\, would profoundly change her life. As minutes become hours in this daylong siege\, these strangers forge lasting bonds. Handle with Care shines a light on hope found even in the darkest moments\, and illuminates how even strangers\, thrown together by chance and hardship\, have the power to change each other’s lives. \nThis heartwarming women’s fiction novel is laced with depth and humor–it’s perfect for book clubs. Discussion questions are included to prompt lively conversations.
