SPECIAL EVENT! THE BOOK LAUNCH OF
DON’T LET ME KEEP YOU!
Kathie’s fifteenth book, 8th novel, will be released in this Southeast Wisconsin Festival of Books Special Event! Held at Books & Company bookstore, 1039 Summit Avenue in Oconomowoc, the event will begin at 7:00. Kathie will be reading from Don’t Let Me Keep You. Then she will be joined in conversation with author Maggie Ginsbert, to discuss the book and Kathie’s career. Maggie said about Don’t Let Me Keep You, “Don’t Let Me Keep You is a lyrical meditation on motherhood seven times over, gestating, unfurling with rhythmic, poignant prose. Over decades we see each of the Halversons through the eyes of the others, bringing into sharp focus how differently each member can experience the same family. The way children protect their mothers, the way mothers remain children themselves, and what a mess we can still make of things despite our best intentions. That we can choose to love each other regardless of who we turn out to be, no matter what. ”
Join Kathie in celebrating her 15th book!
