Join us for a lively morning pondering secrets, scandal and shame-liberation through story with local author Jessica Waite.
About this Event

Part memoir, part survival guide, October's book takes a sharp, unflinching look at grief, resilience, and what it takes to rebuild when life knocks you flat. With honesty and humour, Jessica Waite will share the story behind the book, and open up a conversation about forgiveness, loss, and the audacity to keep going.

Come out on October 15 for the laughs, the truths, and the company of others who may not necessarily agree with everything that happens in this story. This is why we gather: to read deeper and think bigger, together.

Coffee, tea and water will be provided.
