Dawn Tripp will discuss her new book, “Jackie” at an intimate ticketed luncheon on June 21 at the Coronado Public Library at 11 a.m.

The novel shares the mesmerizing story of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, a woman who forged her legacy out of grief and shaped history even as she lived it.

For a $40 ticket, attendees will receive both lunch and a copy of the book provided by Warwick’s bookstore. Proceeds from the event will support the free programs at the library such as lectures, workshops, classes, concerts and children’s programs. Seats are limited and can be reserved at cplevents.org.
