Kristin Harmel The Forest of Vanishing Stars
Elizabeth Brundage The Vanishing Point
Join New York Times best-selling author Kristin Harmel (The Book of Lost Names) as she discusses her latest novel in an interview with Hindel Levitin, program director of The Chabad House in Palm Beach. The Forest of Vanishing Stars is an evocative coming-of-age World War II story about a young woman who uses her knowledge of the wilderness to help Jewish refugees escape the Nazis — until a secret from her past threatens everything.
Two photography students become roommates and befriend a beautiful classmate — a woman neither can possess and only one can love. When their paths all cross again 20 years later, each will question the very foundations of life. In this eerie and evocative novel, Elizabeth Brundage establishes herself as one of the premiere authors of literary fiction at work today. Brundage is the author of four previous novels, including All Things Cease to Appear, which was the basis for the Netflix film Things Heard and Seen.

An accomplished seaman and internationally acclaimed lecturer, Macomber tantalizes audiences with factual historic lore and literary tales and is best known for his novels in the “Honor Series.” The popular maritime thrillers follow fictional American naval officer Peter Wake who serves in America’s first espionage agency from the Civil War to 1908. The novels illuminate the U.S. Navy’s critical role in the expansion of America from a continental country to a global power. Code of Honor follows Rear Admiral Wake’s intelligence efforts during the Russo-Japanese War. Florida Voices is generously supported by the Fred J.
