Carol Stigger is an award-winning journalist/travel writer who retired to the Grand Strand after a brilliant career in Chicago. Join us at Coffee With the Authors this month as she talks about Finding Isobel, a thrilling and unpredictable tale set in Rome, Italy.

After her divorce from a loveless marriage, Ashely goes to Rome to reconnect with the joy she experienced in the Eternal City 18 years ago. Her journey takes an unexpected turn when she finds herself in the Renaissance, a model for the artist Caravaggio. After her abrupt return to the present, she discovers the painting and must prove it is a Caravaggio. Along the way, she encounters an old love and meets a new one.

Coffee With the Authors is a free event, but seating is limited, so please let us know you’ll be there. R.S.V.P. to the gallery at 910.575.5999.
