The Hub City Bookshop and Converse College will host a Literary Luncheon with New York Times-bestselling author Dorothea Benton Frank on Monday, June 20, to celebrate the release of her newest novel “Folly Beach.” The event will take place at noon at the Converse Alumnae House, located across from the main campus at 580 East Main Street in Spartanburg.

Tickets include lunch, a signed hardback copy of the book and a presentation from the author. Only 70 tickets are available and are available at the Hub City Bookshop and online at hubcity.org.

Frank, who was born and raised on Sullivan’s Island on the South Carolina coast, is the author of “Lowcountry Summer,” “Sullivan’s Island,” “Pawley’s Island” and “Shem Creek,” among other books – some of which have sold over one million copies. She currently divides her time between New Jersey and the lowcountry of South Carolina. “Folly Beach” is a sequel to the book “Plantation,” with Carolina Wimbley Levine returning to Tall Pines, in one of the author’s warmly humorous stories.

For tickets and additional information, contact the Hub City Bookshop at 864-577-9349.
