Great Reading for Mothers and Strangers with Daniel Wallace at Frank Gallery Decemebr 15, 2018

A standing room only audience graciously applauded Daniel Wallace (filling in for Lee Smith) and myself at a reading in conjunction with the opening photo exhibit for Barbara Tyroler and Peter Filene at Frank Gallery in Chapel Hill. Daniel Wallace and I read from our respective essays in the upcoming anthology, Mothers and Strangers. If the book launch in early April is as successful as our two preview readings have been, this is very promising!
