About this Event

P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Karen Mehiel to celebrate and discuss her new book Teetering; a novel that asks what does it mean to measure a life—not by the impossible standards we set for ourselves, but by the truths we dare to face and the fears we choose to confront?

Karen will be in conversation with Dr. Joyce Brown, and will sign books after the talk.

Doors open at 5:30pm with the talk starting closer to 6:00pm. Come early and grab a drink from the !

Tickets and books are available both on eventbrite and at the door.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Karen Mehiel is an activist who believes deeply in giving back. She is the founder of FLOK NYC, a community space rooted in love, kindness, and connection. Teetering marks her entry into fiction, and she is currently at work on both her second novel and a forthcoming book of poetry.

ABOUT THE MODERATOR
