A $16 cover charge gets you a signed copy of “I’ll be Seeing You”, a chance to talk to author Suzanne Hayes and lunch catered by Mystic Market. You have to RSVP, which you can do here. If you haven’t read it, “I’ll be Seeing You” is about two women who forge a friendship through correspondence while their husbands are away fighting WWII. Bank Square’s website says, “The friendship forged by their letters allows them to survive the loneliness and uncertainty of waiting on the home front, and gives them the courage to face the battles raging in their very own backyards. Connected across the country by the lifeline of the written word, each woman finds her life profoundly altered by the other's unwavering support.”
