This in-person event is a part of the 2026 Virginia Festival of the Book and will take place at the shop.
We are honored that the eighth annual Carol Troxell Reader selection is Port Anna, the debut novel from Libby Buck.
A woman returning to her coastal Maine hometown—seeking a fresh start after a her mother’s death, a breakup, and the loss of her job—is confronted with secrets and hauntings, even as she discovers a new romance.
Special thanks to The Carol Troxell Fund and its supporters.
