The Friends of the Claire T. Carney Library, formerly Library Associates, proudly announces its annual authors' brunch fundraiser for the benefit of the UMass Dartmouth Claire T. Carney Library, which will be held on Sunday, October 26, at 12 p.m. in the UMass Dartmouth Marketplace with parking in Lot 5.
Tickets are $65 per person.
The featured authors for the annual fundraiser are:
Lisa Genova, a neuroscientist, speaker, and The New York Times best-selling author of Still Alice. Her latest novel, More or Less Maddy, was released in January 2025. Acclaimed as the Oliver Sacks of fiction and the Michael Crichton of brain science, Genova has captured a special place in contemporary fiction, writing stories that are equally inspired by neurological conditions and our shared human condition.
Nancy Rubin Stuart is an award-winning author and journalist who specializes in women, biography, and social history. Her work as a journalist for The New York Times and her experiences as a suburban wife and mother prompted her first book, The New Suburban Woman: Beyond Myth and Motherhood.
Dawn Tripp is a nationally best-selling author of five novels, most recently Jackie, a fictional portrait of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, which was longlisted for the Massachusetts Book Award and won the San Diego Writers Festival Historical Fiction Award. Her novel Georgia was the finalist for the New England Book Award and winner of the Mary Lynn Kotz Award for Art in Literature.
