Leaf & Anna and Friend Memorial Public Library will host an exclusive early launch for Jane Goodrich’s new historical novel, The Seraph, in Brooklin on June 12. The event begins at 4 p.m. with an author talk and presentation at the library, followed by a book signing and reception at Leaf & Anna. Attendees will get a first look at the story behind the novel, including historical photos that inspired it, and can purchase signed copies of The Seraph—a follow-up to Goodrich’s bestselling The House at Lobster Cove—at both Leaf & Anna locations afterward.
