You will want to hear Mississippi writer Jonathan Odell talk about his latest book, The Healing, which already is collecting rave reviews from critics and readers. Rich in mood and atmosphere, the story focuses on the purchase of a slave girl, known as a healer, whose presence causes unrest and who must ultimately revive buried memories of her own past to heal a young woman. Odell is the author of The View from Delphi, which deals with the struggle for equality in Mississippi in the year before the Civil War.
For adults 18 and older.
