SUMMARY:An Evening with novelist Jen Marie Wiggins\, author of The Good Bride
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 27\, 2025 – 5:00-6:30 PM EDT (Rescheduled from December)\nPrice: Free\nRegistration: Seating is limited; please call to reserve your spot: 843-379-7025.\nVenue: Pat Conroy Literary Center | 601 Bladen St.\, Beaufort \nWebsite: Facebook Event Page \nThe nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center will host an evening with novelist Jen Marie Wiggins\, author of The Good Bride\, on Thursday\, February 27\, at 5:00 p.m.\, at the Conroy Center (601 Bladen St.\, Beaufort). \nFree and open to the public. Books will be available for sale and signing. Seating is limited; please call in advance to reserve: 843-379-7025. \nAbout The Good Bride\nThe Wedding of the Year turns disastrous in this twisty family drama full of lies and betrayals\, perfect for fans of Laura Dave\, Lucy Foley\, and Ruth Ware. \nOne year after a devastating hurricane\, bride-to-be Ruth Bancroft is marrying her perfect groom in a quaint fishing village on the Gulf Coast. The weekend is carefully curated\, with the displays of pomp and social media magic meant to promote an area still struggling to rebuild as well as bring Ruth’s estranged family back together. \nYet as good intentions often go\, this road to wed is hell and paved in complications. With tensions rising between the family and the bridal party\, long-buried secrets come to light\, and accusations start flying. Things officially spiral out of control when the oceanfront rehearsal dinner is rocked by a series of gunshots\, and a high-profile guest goes missing. As the investigation gets underway\, it turns out that everyone has something to hide. \nBig Little Lies meets The Guest List in this gripping page turner that asks the big questions about messy family liaisons\, modern media\, and the lies we tell the world. \nAbout the Author \nJen Marie Wiggins’s first book\, the gifty nonfiction title Married AF: A Funny Guide for the Newlywed or Bride\, was published with Sourcebooks in 2022. \nShe has a background in advertising and public relations\, and her writing has appeared in Southern Coastal Weddings\, Savannah Magazine\, Savannah Homes\, and elsewhere. The Good Bride draws much of its inspiration from the devastation and rebuilding struggles of Mexico Beach\, Florida\, a place near and dear to Jen’s heart. \n  \n\nThis program and others like this would not be possible without your financial help for which\, as always\, Pat Conroy Literary Center gratefully thanks you.
