HOPEsudbury Recognizes Sudbury Firefighters with Gift

The gift is part of HOPEsudbury’s efforts to recognize and acknowledge the remarkable contributions of First Responders.

HOPEsudbury was established in 2001 following  the tragic events of Sept. 11. Initial fundraising efforts supported New York City firefighters from Engine 9 Ladder 6, one of the first fire houses to respond to calls for help at the World Trade Center.

Hilderbrand’s stories of life, love and heartbreak on Nantucket have a strong following in Sudbury, where many residents are frequent visitors to the resort island. She will discuss her latest work, “Beautiful Day,” which focuses on two families who come to the island to celebrate a wedding – following a playbook prepared by the bride’s late mother. “Beautiful Day” is currently No. 7 on The New York Times hardcover fiction best sellers list.

Hilderbrand is a graduate of The Johns Hopkins University and the graduate fiction workshop at the University of Iowa, where she was a teaching fellow. She is the author of twelve novels. She lives on Nantucket with her husband and their three children.

The Goodnow Library Foundation is hosting Hilderbrand’s visit.

The event begins at 7 pm in the library’s first floor meeting room. Reservations are required. To sign up, visit the Goodnow Library reservation website at: bit.ly/goodnow1. For questions, email Samantha Greenfield of the Goodnow Library Foundation at: development@goodnow-foundation.org.
