Local author Nicole Logan will speak about her new book, “Forever on the Road; A Franco-American Family’s Thirty Years in the Foreign Service,” on Thursday, June 16, at 4 p.m. at the Essex Library.

The book chronicles her adventurous life and work, spanning 10 countries and three continents, as the wife of an American diplomat. Against an exciting background of civil war, political coups, and overthrown governments, this fascinating memoir reads like a novel, and Ms. Logan’s illustrated talk will include a brief reading.

Books will be available for sale and signing, and refreshments will be served. Please call the Essex Library at (860) 767-1560 for more information or to register for this program, which is free and open to all.
