Local author Ann Hymes has written her debut novel, Shadow of Whimsy on the challenging issues of a struggling marriage, unfulfilled needs, and buried family secrets in Chatham, Massachusetts. Hymes will read and sign books in a local launch party at the St. Michaels branch of the Talbot County Free Library on Thursday, July 14 at 6 p.m. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., and light refreshments will be served.
Hymes, a retired real estate broker, mother of two daughters and grandmother of three, has published creative nonfiction and earned a master’s degree from Washington College. She is an active international volunteer teacher, including Peace Corps service in the 1960s. Hymes says that Whimsy Towers and the story are fiction, but fiction is tinged with truth! The book does reflect a time when the author went to Cape Cod to examine her own life. She lives in St. Michaels, Md. All library programs are free and open to the public.
