York Public Library to host Author Talk with Caitlin Wahrer Oct. 7

YORK, Maine — York Public Library welcomes Caitlin Wahrer, debut author of “The Damage” at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 7, 2021 in the Library’s Community Room. The Author Talk will also offer a virtual attendance option for those unable to attend in-person.

Set in a fictional town in southern Maine, “The Damage” is equal parts family drama, crime story, and moral thriller. In it, a New England family is torn apart when the husband’s much-loved younger brother accuses a man he’s just met of sexual assault.

Author Stephen King wrote that it “pulled me in from the first page…put this one high on your summer list.”

Caitlin Wahrer is “a Maine girl through and through.” She was born to two hippies who raised her in a small town in central-southern Maine without a single stoplight in it. Caitlin left the state for four years to study criminal justice and marriage and family studies at a college in Pennsylvania. She returned to Maine after graduation to attend law school and practice law. She and her husband live in southern Maine with their dog. 

This program is available live at York Public Library or through Zoom. Please indicate your preference on the registration form, which is posted on the Library’s website at yorkpubliclibrary.org.
