Authors Frye Gaillard and Patricia Foster will be the featured readers at Page and Palette in Fairhope, Alabama, Wednesday, April 10, from 6-8 p.m.

James Usavage says, “With A Hard Rain Gaillard gives us a deeply personal history, bringing his keen storyteller’s eye to this pivotal time in American life. He explores the competing story arcs of tragedy and hope through the political and social movements of the times: civil rights, black power, women’s liberation, the war in Vietnam, and the protest movements against it.”  https://writersforum.org/a-hard-rain/

Kirkus Reviews says Patricia Foster’s Written in the Sky: Lessons of a Southern Daughter is “A powerful, often heart-wrenching collection of essays tackling the history of the American South…a double portrait of place and family, a book of deeply personal essays that interrogate the legacy of racial tensions in the South, the constricton of caste and gender, and the ways race, class, and white privilege ar entwined in her family story.” https://writersforum.org/written-in-the-sky/
