We are thrilled to be welcoming best-selling author Carley Fortune back to Charlottetown for the launch of her new book One Golden Summer. Please join us Monday, May 26th at 7 pm at the Prince Edward Island Convention Centre for an exciting evening moderated by Jessica Doria Brown. Tickets are $36 plus fees and taxes and include a copy of the book. With the success of last year’s launch of This Summer Will Be Different, we are moving to a larger venue but tickets are limited, so don’t wait. One Golden Summer is a radiant, new escape to the lake from #1 New York Times bestselling author Carley Fortune. Good things happen at the lake. That’s what Alice’s grandmother says, and it’s true. Alice spent just one summer there at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeen—it’s where she took that photo, the one of three grinning teenagers in a yellow speedboat, the image that changed her life. Now Alice lives behind a lens. As a photographer, she’s most comfortable on the sidelines, letting other people shine. Lately though, she’s been itching for something more, and when Nan falls and breaks her hip, Alice comes up with a plan for them both: another summer in that magical place, Barry’s Bay. But as soon as they settle in, their peace is disrupted by the roar of a familiar yellow boat, and the man driving it. Charlie Florek was nineteen when Alice took his photo from afar. Now he’s all grown up—a shameless flirt, who manages to make Nan laugh and Alice long to be seventeen again, when life was simpler, when taking pictures was just for fun. Sun-slanted days and warm nights out on the lake with Charlie are a balm for Alice’s soul, but when she looks up and sees his piercing green gaze directly on her, she begins to worry for her heart. CARLEY FORTUNE is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After, Meet Me at the Lake, and This Summer Will Be Different. Her books have sold more than one-million copies worldwide. She is an award-winning Canadian journalist who’s worked as an editor for Refinery29, The Globe and Mail, Chatelaine, and Toronto Life. She lives in Toronto with her husband and two sons. Jessica Doria Brown is a journalist with CBC in PEI. Originally from Toronto, Jessica has worked for CBC in Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, and Ontario. She is an accomplished reporter, shooter/editor, radio newsreader and producer who files stories for news and current affairs, TV, radio and the web. Information Source: Bookmark | eventbrite
