Juliette Fay is returning to The Author’s Corner at Melrose Public Library! She will be talking about her recently released novel, The Harvey Girls. Juliette is known for her “well-drawn characters and vibrant historical backdrops.” In The Harvey Girls, we are transported to 1920s America with this big-hearted tale of two very different women who must learn to trust each other as one tries to save her family and the other to save herself. The Harvey Girls were waitresses who served in America’s first hospitality chain on the Santa Fe railroad. Businessman and entrepreneur, Fred Harvey recognized a need for better restaurants and accommodations along rail lines throughout the Southwest. He formed a partnership with the Atchison, Topeka, & Santa Fe Railway to open establishments along their routes. As part of the hotel and restaurant service staff, he created the iconic Harvey Girls, who are often described as one of the first workforce's made up of all women in the Southwest. Women came from all over the country to work as a Harvey Girl.  Juliette is an award-winning, bestselling author of historical and contemporary fiction. Her novels have been translated into eight foreign languages, and her essays have appeared in the Boston Globe, Psychology Today, and Lit Hub. A graduate of Boston College and Harvard University, Juliette lives in Massachusetts with her family. Molly’s Bookstore will have copies of Juliette’s books available for purchase at the event that Juliette will sign after her talk. Light refreshments will be served, sponsored by The Friends of the Melrose Public Library. https://melrosepubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/the-authors-corner-with-juliette-fay/
