Friends of the Simsbury Public Library Present: An Evening with Author Georgia Hunter

New York Times bestselling author Georgia Hunter will join the Friends on Wednesday, March 26 from 6:30-8 p.m. in the Friends program room to discuss One Good Thing, her soon-to-be published historical novel which gives a fascinating glimpse into a piece of WWII history not many know about. Set in Mussolini’s Italy, the novel tells the story of two best friends who are Jewish, and the courageous journey one of them must take in order to save herself and her friend’s baby from the invading Nazis. 

A remarkable tale of friendship, motherhood, and survival, One Good Thing is a tender reminder that love for another person, even amidst darkness and uncertainty, can be reason to keep going.

When Georgia Hunter was fifteen years old, she discovered that she came from a family of Holocaust survivors. Years later, she embarked on a journey of intensive research, determined to unearth and record her family’s remarkable story. The result is the New York Times best seller, We Were the Lucky Ones, which has been published in over 20 languages and adapted for television by Hulu as a highly acclaimed limited series now streaming. One Good Thing is Georgia’s second novel. She lives in Connecticut with her husband and their two sons. Visit her online at www.georgiahunterauthor.com.
