Join us for a special Author Event featuring local author and writer of memoir, fiction and poetry, Jean Robison. Her recent memoir, Deer, Dragonfly, and Cardinal: The Story of a Boy and the Mother who is Always Looking for Him, was published by Barnes & Noble in January of this year.
Together we’ll gather for an afternoon that celebrates the power of telling our stories, and how the journey of grief can be nurturing and empowering through signs in nature that are all around us.
