From our friends at Busboys & Poets...
Renaissance women and authors Audrey Taylor Gonzalez and Marilyn Oser will engage audiences with their new novels, South of Everything, and Even You, sharing a deeply personal vision of coming of age in the 1940s, just after World War II, a time before the Civil Rights Movement and the Sexual Revolution of the 60s, when many of today's personal freedoms had yet to be fought for. A Question-and-Answer Session and Book Signing follows the discussion.
