Author Talk: Michelle Horton

October 23 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Free

Join us for a wine and cheese reception followed by a powerful discussion with Michelle Horton, author of Dear Sister: A Memoir of Secrets, Survival, and Unbreakable Bonds as she shares the story of how her sister was incarcerated after killing her abusive partner in self defense.  Learn about the affects of abuse on entire family systems, what you can do to help someone in an abusive situation and to advocate for policy change.

Shop local and stop by Barrett Bookstore who will have copies of the book on hand in the store.

Dear Sister was featured in The New York Times and named an Amazon Editor’s Pick. Michelle is also the co-founder of The Nicole Addimando Community Defense Committee, an advocacy group that brings awareness and action toward the decriminalization of domestic violence survivors
