SUMMARY:An Evening with Beatriz Williams
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado Public Library welcomes Beatriz Williams\, New York Times and internationally bestselling author\, for a talk and book signing featuring her latest novel\, Under the Stars. Known for her richly detailed and emotionally resonant historical fiction\, Williams has captivated readers around the world with nineteen acclaimed novels\, including collaborations with authors Karen White and Lauren Willig. Her newest novel is a timeless epic of mothers and daughters\, of love lost and found\, and of the truths that echo down generations. Set against the backdrop of a harrowing real-life disaster from the dawn of the steamship era\, the story follows the intertwined destinies of three women whose lives converge across centuries—uncovering a tangled legacy of family secrets in modern-day New England. \nA book-signing will follow. This event is free and open to the public. Seating is first-come\, first-served\, subject to availability. Limited preferred seating is available with purchase of Under the Stars through Warwick’s bookstore. Please visit www.warwicks.com/williams-2025-reserved-seat or call the store at 858-454-0347 for more information. \n\nAbout Under the Stars \nWhen a daughter and her famous mother return to Winthrop Island to confront their complicated past\, they discover a secret trove of paintings that connect them to a mysterious woman who vanished on a luxury steamship two centuries earlier. \nAudrey Fisher has struggled all her life to emerge from the shadow of her famous mother by forging a career as a world-class chef. Meredith Fisher’s glamorous screen persona disguises the trauma of the tragic accident that haunts her dreams. Neither woman wants to return to the New England island they left behind and its complicated emotional ties\, but Meredith has one last chance to sober up and salvage her big comeback\, and where else but discreet\, moneyed Winthrop Island can a famous actress spend the summer without the intrusion of other people? Until Audrey discovers an old wooden chest among the belongings of her estranged bartender father\, Mike Kennedy\, and the astonishing contents draw the women deep into Winthrop’s past and its many secrets… attracting the interest of their handsome neighbor\, Sedge Peabody. How did a trove of paintings from one of America’s greatest artists wind up in the cellar of the Mohegan Inn? And who is the mysterious woman portrayed on every canvas? \nOn a stormy November night in 1846\, Providence Dare flees Boston and boards the luxury steamship Atlantic one step ahead of the law… or so she believes. But when a catastrophic accident leaves the ship at the mercy of a mighty gale\, Providence finds herself trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse with the one man who knows her real identity—the detective investigating the suspicious death of her employer\, the painter Henry Irving. As the Atlantic fights for her life and the rocky shore of Winthrop Island edges closer\, a desperate Providence searches for her chance to escape… before the sea swallows her without a trace. \n  \nAbout Beatriz Williams \nBeatriz Williams is the New York Times\, USA Today\, and internationally bestselling author of Husbands and Lovers\, The Summer Wives\, The Secret Life of Violet Grant\, A Hundred Summers\, the Wicked City series\, and several other works of historical fiction\, including five novels in collaboration with fellow bestselling authors Karen White and Lauren Willig.
