Join bestselling authors Dawn Tripp and Nancy Thayer for a lively and illuminating discussion followed by Q&A about their latest books, Jackie and The Summer We Started Over.

Jackie is a biographical novel about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. It is the story of a woman—deeply private with a nuanced, formidable intellect—who forged a legacy out of grief and shaped history even as she was living it. Featured in The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, and People, among others, Jackie is described by novelist Chris Bohjalian as "a brilliant, beautiful book [that] touches the soul in ways conventional biographies can’t.”

In The Summer We Started Over, beloved author Nancy Thayer has crafted an intimate and deeply moving story about two sisters who reconnect on the island of Nantucket, overcoming life’s challenges and finding new love. Featured by Parade and Women's World, among others, beloved New York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer transports readers with this moving story about family, courage, and the resiliency of young women.

Whether you like historical or contemporary fiction, both of these books are perfect summer reads.
