Kim McLarin's Reading at Hue-Man




Kim McLarin is plogging over at Amazon. Yes, that's plogging, and nope not exactly sure what a plog is. She has such a great voice. Check out some of her wit, sarcasm, and insight.

Her reading at Hue-Man was nicely attended. She didn't read for a long time, which was great. We adults sometimes don't have the longest attention spans. But the discussion/Q&A was really good. Her book, JUMP AT THE SUN, is about the complexities of motherhood and it's not a rosy picture. But it's extremely well-written and thought provocative. Shoot, I'm not the only that feels that way, PEOPLE magazine just gave it 4 stars and made it a critics choice. Although it's the main characters are black women, it really is a universal story.

A nice surprise, writer Bernice McFadden attended (see picture above). It's nice to see authors supporting authors.

Looks like an awesome book. I'll definately have to order one. (I need all the help with motherhood that I can get.) -Margie
