Anne and Lisa will be talking about Anne’s latest novel, The Macdonalds of Cedar Park. Anne Macdonald is a writer with deep New England roots. Her current book is inspired by members of her rather ordinary, Melrose based family, involved in some of the extraordinary events of WWII, including the Manhattan Project and the 10th Mountain Division. Based on real letters from an ordinary American family, this is not a story about generals or battles. It is about what happens to a family when the world is at war and demands everything, and the government demands their silence. Anne has self-published two mysteries and is planning the third. She and her husband live in Melrose and enjoy the beach any time of year and traveling to new places for adventure as well as research. Book Ends will have books available for sale and signing. Light refreshments will be served, sponsored by The Friends of the Melrose Public Library. Please register online.
