The Bay Shore Historical Society will meet Thursday, March 19th, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the Bay Shore - Brightwaters Public Library (1 South Country Rd., Brightwaters, NY)
Guest speaker, Liz Finnegan will present her novel "Witness to Tribulation". The story focuses on Emily, who inherits a Gettysburg home and discovers a Civil War diary, bridging past and present tragedies. Rich with history, suspense, and a touch of the supernatural, Witness to Tribulation is a moving tale of generational bonds, resilience, and the eternal presence of family.
Liz Finnegan started her career as a nurse 40 years ago. She always had a desire to be a writer, and she became an award-winning journalist and the former editor at the Islip Bulletin. Liz was inspired to write "Witness to Tribulation" after taking a trip to Gettysburg with her historian husband.
The meeting is open to the public at no charge. Refreshments will be served. Learn more at: bayshorehistoricalsociety.org/programs-news
