MEREDITH — Innisfree Bookshop will host author Susan Branch on Saturday, Oct. 3, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., who will be signing her latest book, "The Fairy Tale Girl."
Branch is the American author of 12 best-selling "Heart of the Home" lifestyle books — all of them hand-written and watercolored — that deal with cooking, gardening, homemaking, family, best friends, entertaining and the little things that make life sweet.
Born and raised in California, Branch makes her home in her 1849 Captain's House on the island of Martha's Vineyard, Mass.
"The Fairy Tale Girl" is Part 1 of a two-part memoir. Both books are prequels to Susan's 2013 book, "A Fine Romance." It is designed in Susan's style with her whimsical watercolors and personal photographs taken from her diaries and photo albums. "The Fairy Tale Girl" explores Branch's journey as an artist and as a girl/woman, from the 1950s through the 1980s. In this first book of the series we get a revealing view of Branch's early life as the oldest of eight children and the marriage she imagined would last forever.
