Mary Anne Dennison is receiving great reviews for her first novel Elegy for Paula. Set in Chatham,
her protagonist Anna Wells meets a charming widower at church and falls in
love. After a whirlwind courtship, the two get married, but how much does Anna
really know about her new husband? Perhaps he isn’t what he seems. Favorite
local author Rose Connors says “here’s a nail biter that doesn’t let you go
until the last page is turned.” Come meet Ms. Dennison and explore Anna’s story.
Books will be available for sale and signing.
Mary Anne Dennison was raised in rural Connecticut,
graduated from Mount Holyoke College,
read classical literature at St. John’s
College in Annapolis,
and studied in France and Greece.
Lulled by the sea, she moved to Cape Cod in
1980, where she lives with Amos, her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

Join Jodie Limon
Montoya, Education Coordinator from the Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary, as she
talks about Horseshoe Crabs. They are spawning in our sands
! These ancient creatures have been around for
400 million years, adapting to and withstanding every conceivable change
time has presented. They have a critical role in the lives of the Red
Knot, a migratory shorebird, and are important to biomedical research and the
pharmaceutical industry. Cape Cod is home
to a population of Horseshoe Crabs in severe decline and unsustainably
harvested for bait. Learn about what Mass Audubon and other conservation
groups are doing to protect this amazing marine creature here on Cape Cod.
