Join us for a heart-warming evening with Alison van Diggelen, author of the new #1 New Release The Love Project, a vibrant collection of true love stories set in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Described as “Sex and the City meets Eat, Pray, Love,” The Love Project explores the surprising, funny, and deeply moving ways love reveals itself — at every age and in every corner of a community. Inspired by Alison’s 93-year-old mother, who found the love of her life in her 80s, the book weaves together stories of bohemians, billionaires, immigrants, LGBTQ+ artists and creators, and young culinary leaders from Rancho Cielo. Early readers call it “warm, tender, and hopeful” — the exact tonic our turbulent world needs.

As a seasoned interviewer for BBC World Service and host of Fresh Dialogues, Alison brings her signature curiosity and compassion to every story she tells. Her work has been praised by bestselling authors Sharon Randall, Julian Guthrie, Guy Kawasaki, and NPR’s Michael Krasny.

Join us for:

• A reading and conversation with the author

• Audience Q&A

• Book signing and meet-and-greet

Books will be available for purchase at the event.
