A Reading of the Last Sailor and an Interview with Sarah Anne Johnson

On Wednesday, February 10 at 5 PM, the Truro Historical Society welcomed Sarah Anne Johnson, author of The Last Sailor and The Lightkeeper’s Wife. Sarah read from her latest novel, The Last Sailor and then discussed how the Highland House Museum has inspired her work. She talks about her salty upbringing on Cape Cod, researching local and women’s maritime history, and her family’s connection to Highland Lighthouse. Attendance to this Zoom webinar was free, but we welcome donations.
