About

Page 158 Books is excited to welcome author, Dawn Tripp, to celebrate her novel, Jackie -- out June 17th in paperback.

Jackie is a novel about a woman who was deeply private, and who forged an historic legacy out of grief and courage, and who shaped history, even as she was living it. It is the story of a love affair, a complicated marriage, the creation of a family and the fracturing of identity that comes in the wake of violence.

Dawn Tripp’s novel Georgia was a national bestseller, finalist for the New England Book Award, and winner of the Mary Lynn Kotz Award for Art in Literature. She is also the author of three previous novels: Game of Secrets, Moon Tide, and The Season of Open Water, which won the Massachusetts Book Award for Fiction.
