From Pain to Purpose: Healing Through Words & Art
Featuring local authors:
Stephanie Locchetta – WHEN Story Author
Jim Plasky – WHEN Story Author & author of Worthy
Brittany Brandt – WHEN Story Author & author of Your Story Is Your Strategy
We’re also bringing in a creative element for all ages:
Alcohol Ink Bookmark Making
Create something beautiful with your hands while reflecting on your own story. This activity is open to both kids and adults, because healing and creativity have no age limit.
------
There is something powerful that happens when we choose to share our stories.
The parts we once wanted to hide, the moments that shaped us the healing we fought for…
They begin to transform. Not just for us, but for others, too.
Join us for a heart-centered Book Fest experience where storytelling meets healing, creativity, and connection.
Each of us has walked through our own version of pain and chosen to turn it into purpose. This event is an invitation to come connect, hear our stories, explore our books, and maybe even see a piece of yourself reflected in the pages.
Whether you’re on your own healing journey, love supporting local authors, or simply want a meaningful way to spend your time, this space is for you.
Come as you are. Bring a friend. Stay for a conversation, a connection, or a quiet moment of inspiration.
Your story matters, too.
