Local Author Day - Barnes & Noble Menlo Park Mall

Come to a Meet and Greet at Barnes & Noble. Freedom Lessons - A Novel would be a great book to generate discussion at your book club. There are discussion questions in the book and the author has special book swag for book clubs: a Playlist that will bring you back or introduce you to some of the protest songs of the era. Limited supply along with the purchase of a copy of the book.

"Inspired by the author’s real-life experiences, Freedom Lessons is a candid and nuanced novel about a young Northern woman who spends a year teaching in the 1960s Jim Crow South. In the process, she learns more about herself and her country than she ever expected. Freedom Lessons is illuminating and gripping, and a worthy addition to the literature of the civil rights era."
~Amy Hill Hearth, New York Times and Washington Post best-selling author and recipient of two American Library Association Notable Book citations.
