Join us for an afternoon of conversation, curiosity, and gentle exploration inspired by The French Broad by Asheville writer Wilma Dykeman.
About this Event

Wonders & Wanders with Wilma is a relaxed, community-centered gathering that blends literature, place, and movement. We’ll sip, socialize, and discuss selected chapters (6–8) of The French Broad—with no pressure to read ahead. This is about connection, not completion.

After our casual discussion, we’ll enjoy a short, easy walk around this historic site, allowing the landscape itself to deepen the conversation.

This event is the second in a four-part series celebrating Wilma Dykeman’s work and legacy through shared reflection and local exploration.

✨ Bonus: All attendees will be entered into a raffle to win a copy of The French Broad.



What to expect:
  • Casual, welcoming discussion
  • Light socializing and shared reflection
  • A short, accessible walk
  • Community, curiosity, and connection
