Brit Bennett: The Mothers | Tuesday, October 24, 5 p.m.

At the American Writer’s Museum, 800 N. Michigan Avenue, Second Floor.

In entrancing, lyrical prose, The Mothers asks whether a "what if" can be more powerful than an experience itself. If, as time passes, we must always live in servitude to the decisions of our younger selves, to the communities that have parented us, and to the decisions we make that shape our lives forever.  Set within a contemporary black community in Southern California, Brit Bennett’s mesmerizing first novel is an emotionally perceptive story about community, love, and ambition.

Books will be sold before and after the event.
