Karen White & Tanya Michna Book Signing March 9, 2008

Local author Karen White signs The Memory of Water, and local author Tanya Michna signs Necessary Arrangements as part of Wordsmiths Books' first Book Club Sunday.

As part of Wordsmiths Books' continuing commitment to providing a comfortable space in which authors and book clubs connect, we are proud to launch our Book Club Sundays. We'll be presenting authors whose past

and recent novels are ideal considerations for your book club picks -- thought-provoking, sometimes tearful, sometimes funny, always in paperback, and always great reads full of fantastic discussion points. For our first Book Club Sunday, we

present Karen White and Tanya Michna.

Local author Karen White returns to the South Carolina Low Country with her new novel, The Memory of Water. On the night their mother drowns, sisters Marnie and Diana Maitland discover there is more than one kind

of death. There is the death of innocence, of love, and of hope. Each sister harbors a secret about that night-secrets that will erode their lives as they grow into adulthood. After ten years of silence between the sisters, Marnie is called back to the

South Carolina Lowcountry by Diana's ex-husband, Quinn. His young son has returned from a sailing trip with his emotionally unstable mother, and he is refusing to speak. In order to help the traumatized boy, Marnie must reopen old wounds and

bring the darkest memories of their past to the surface. And she must confront Diana, before they all go under.

Necessary Arrangements is the new novel by local author Tanya Michna. Meet Lucy and Asia Swenson, two Georgia sisters who are also best friends; this September, they both have news for their family. Lucy, 28, is

getting married. Asia, 34, has cancer. Together, Lucy and Asia face the changes and challenges in their lives with tears, laughter, and sisterly wisdom.

There will be a gift basket raffle and complimentary light tea snacks on this afternoon, and if your book club is already registered, or if you register your book club at the event, you'll receive 10% off your purchases of books by the appearing

authors. To pre-register your book club, email [email protected] or call 404-378-7166. Join us for this free, fun book club afternoon.
