Book Talk - Dear Sister: A Memoir of Secrets, Survival, and Unbreakable Bonds

On Thursday, October 24th at 6 pm join the David M. Hunt Library, in partnership with Oblong Books and Project Sage, for a book talk with Michelle Horton, author of "Dear Sister: A Memoir of Secrets, Survival and Unbreakable Bonds". This event will take place at the Center on Main, 103 Main Street in Falls Village. Horton's book is a breathtaking memoir about two sisters and a high-profile case: Nikki Addimando, incarcerated for killing her longtime abuser; and the author, Michelle Horton, left in the devastating fall-out to raise Nikki's young children and to battle the criminal justice system. After the talk the author and representatives from Project Sage will be available for a Q & A. At the end of the event books will be available for purchase and signing. 

The cover of a book with the title Dear Sister: A Memoir of Secrets, Survival, and Unbreakable Bonds appears next to a photo of the author. Text reads “Author Michelle Horton, Thursday, October 24, 6pm at the Center on Main, 103 Main Street, Falls Village, CT.”
