The University of South Carolina Beaufort Lunch with Author Series 2023-2024 begins Wednesday, October 25 at The Belfair Clubhouse. The author, Mary Kay Andrews, will be discussing her new book Bright Lights, Big Christmas.

ABOUT THE BOOK

It’s a long way from a Christmas tree farm in the mountains of North Carolina to a certain street corner in Greenwich Village, but Kerry Tolliver—newly unemployed and romantically unattached—reluctantly agrees to make the trek and live in a tiny vintage camper with her gruff older brother (and his dog, Queenie) out of family loyalty. Selling Christmas trees at the family’s stand on a New York City sidewalk, Kerry begins to feel at home, succumbing to the charms of the quirky neighborhood, and making new friends who become like family . . . and maybe more. Surrounded by warm childhood memories, sparkling possibility, and the magic of Christmas, will this small-town girl surrender her heart to the bright lights of the big city?
