Join Hamilton Public Library for a special evening with #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Wingate as she discusses her acclaimed novel The Book of Lost Friends with the HPL Book Club.

Inspired by true historical events, The Book of Lost Friends explores the stories of formerly enslaved people searching for loved ones after the Civil War. The novel weaves together themes of resilience, family, and the enduring power of hope through both historical and modern-day narratives.

Wingate will sign books following the event. A limited number of books will be available for purchase. Cash only.
