On Thursday, December 16, at 7 p.m., author Robert Babirad will discuss his latest book, “A Christmas Heart, A Westhampton Beach Christmas,” in a Zoom talk hosted by the Hampton Bays Public Library.

“A Westhampton Beach Christmas” tells the story of Dani, who runs a successful French bistro in the village. She is determined to fulfill a family legacy and hopes to expand into the elite world of Long Island winemaking. When an unexpected visitor from New York City shows up over the holidays, everything suddenly changes. Spend the holidays in Westhampton Beach and find out if this Christmas is just the end of another year or a new beginning.

Also participating in the Zoom discussion will be Robert Babirad’s sister, Christie Leigh Babirad, who will discuss her latest book “Scarlet Secrets: Poems.”

To sign up for the talk, email dvalle@hamptonbayslibrary.org with the subject “Meet the Authors” for the Zoom link. Hampton Bays Public Library is at 52 Ponquogue Avenue, Hampton Bays. Visit hamptonbayslibrary.org for details.
