Hi Everyone, On behalf of the Metro Detroit Book and Author Society, I would like to invite you to our FREE event this coming Monday, April 19, from 7-8 pm. Author Sarah Penner discusses her book, The Lost Apothecary, with Metro-Detroit Book and Author Society President, Cathy Russ. Q&A will be available via the Zoom Q&A function. This event will be recorded and made available on our YouTube channel. An instant New York Times bestseller The Lost Apothecary follows three women who will change each other’s lives across the barrier of time—a modern-day historian, an 18th century apothecary serial killer, and a twelve-year-old girl who will unite them in a stunning twist of fate. Filled with emotional depth, addictive pacing, and wildly clever storytelling, The Lost Apothecary is a bold feminist work of historical fiction that explores female empowerment in a man’s world, the destructive force of revenge, and the power of women’s relationships with one another. You can purchase a copy of her book, The Lost Apothecary, from bookshop.org (https://bookshop.org/a/6300/9780778311010) to support local bookstores AND the MDBAS. NOTE: We ask for your address in order to facilitate giving away a limited number of signed bookplates for FREE after the event. Attendance at this event is necessary to be eligible!
