Author Talk: Jenn Bouchard- Palms on the Cape
Thursday July 7 at 6:00 pm

After a tumultuous childhood, Rachel Sinclair has made a life for herself. On the verge of turning forty, her upscale beach bar–Palms on the Cape–is packed throughout the Cape Cod summer season. She has surrounded herself with a devoted staff and great friends, including her best friend, Carlos...who she might be in love with. When Rachel learns of a plan to take over her business, she must decide if it’s worth the gamble to join forces with an unlikely ally, or risk losing everything she has worked for.
Jenn Bouchard is the award-winning author of PALMS ON THE CAPE, CONSIDERING US, and FIRST COURSE, as well as several published short stories. She has been teaching high school social studies for twenty-six years and also teaches short story classes to adults in her community. She is an avid cook, volunteer for good causes, and devoted Red Sox fan. A graduate of Bates College and Tufts University, she lives in the Boston suburbs with her husband and two teenage children.
