Book Discussion with Susannah Marren, Author of “Palm Beach Confidential”

Join us on Wednesday, June 17th, at 7 pm, for a book discussion with Author Susannah Marren, Program Room, Radcliffe Building, Perrot Memorial Library. Ms. Marren will be interviewed by Cathy Horn, co-chair, Greenwich Pen Women Letters Division, and will discuss her latest book, Palm Beach Confidential.

Decades after Lucinda Barrows comes to Palm Beach, she has everything she set out to claim: a seat at every elite table and three stunning daughters raised in the shelter of privilege. Yet beneath the family’s renown, Lucinda’s life is in turmoil. When a stranger comes to town to shatter her carefully constructed legacy, discretion is offered—at a steep price. As Lucinda’s daughters uncover what has the means to destroy the Barrows family, they become the mirror for the far-reaching consequences of a devious plan. Suddenly they are forced to choose between their mother and the truth. Who will prevail … and who will fall from grace?
