Friends of Cotuit Library Speaker Series: A Conversation with Author Jacquelyn Mitchard In-Person
Join us for a special conversation with New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn Mitchard, whose debut novel The Deep End of the Ocean was the very first selection for Oprah’s Book Club and became a major motion picture starring Michelle Pfeiffer. In this engaging author talk, Mitchard will reflect on her remarkable writing career, the power of storytelling, and how she crafts characters that stay with readers long after the final page.
The discussion will be moderated by Cotuit Library Director Autumn Hassett and followed by a brief Q&A.
