Join us for a books signing with local author Don Wilding! His new book Historic Storms of Cape Cod describes some of the most fascinating and destructive weather events in our area.&nbsp;From the publisher:&nbsp;Cape Cod has always been in the path of deadly hurricanes and ferocious storms. Unwelcome summer visitors include the "Long Island Express" Hurricane of 1938, the Great Atlantic Hurricane of 1944, the twin Hurricanes Carol and Edna in 1954, and Hurricane Bob in 1991. These storms destroyed countless homes and left several coastal communities under several feet of water. Surging tides carried away houses with residents inside who didn't survive and sank the Coast Guard lightship Vineyard in Buzzards Bay, killing all 12 crew members. Fall and winter brought the benchmark Blizzard of 1978, the nor'easter of January 1987, and the infamous "Perfect Storm" of October 1991 which delivered some of the highest tides ever seen on the Outer Cape. Local author Don Wilding revisits the Cape's most severe weather events and their devastating impact.

Join us for a book signing and swashbuckling shenanigans with local author Rachel Rueckert! Her latest book If the Tide Turns is a thrilling historical novel about our favorite infamous pirate ship The Whydah&nbsp;and its captain. We invite you to visit dressed like a pirate because you might even see the book's characters come to life!&nbsp;From the publisher:&nbsp;Set during the Golden Age of Pirates and the shadowy aftermath of the Salem witch trials, this vivid literary debut is inspired by the captivating true story of real-life pirate Samuel Bellamy, combining high seas adventure, star-crossed longing, surprisingly timely questions about social justice and freedom, and the emotionally satisfying tale of one strong-willed young woman determined to choose her own path. "If the Tide Turns&nbsp;weaves together two fascinating worlds in a page-turning story of love, friendship, and self-discovery. It transports the reader to the time of witch trials and piracy, shrugging off popular caricatures and exploring real-life people&mdash;the hardships they faced and the hope that sustained them. A stirring and luminous read!" &mdash;Amanda Skenandore, author of&nbsp;The Nurse's Secret 1715, Eastham, Massachusetts:&nbsp;As the daughter of a wealthy family, Maria Brown has a secure future mapped out for her, yet it is not the future she wants. Young, headstrong, and restless, Maria has no desire to marry the aging, mean-spirited John Hallett, regardless of his fortune and her parents&rsquo; wishes. As for what Maria&nbsp;does&nbsp;want&mdash;only one person has ever even asked her that question. Samuel Bellamy, an orphaned sailor searching for work, meets Maria by chance, enthralling her with talk of far-flung places and blasphemous ideals. But neither is free from the social order into which they were born. When Sam is banished from Maria&rsquo;s parents&rsquo; home after asking for her hand, he vows to return a wealthy man, and Maria promises to keep the faith until then. Sam is drawn into piracy and discovers a brotherhood more equal and fulfilling than any on land, despite its dangers. Beguiled by the chance to both fight for justice and make a fortune to bring home to Maria, Sam is torn between duty to his crew and his desire to return. Separated by more than just the ocean, time slips by as Sam and Maria cling to their love for each other. Maria is determined to stay strong in her conviction in Sam, but as rumors swirl and her position in Eastham turns perilous, Maria is forced into an impossible decision. Now, on a journey no less treacherous and eventful than Sam&rsquo;s, Maria draws on every shred of her courage and resilience not merely to survive, but to honor her own yearning for freedom...
