Author Talk: Lisa Braxton

Join us for an evening with local author Lisa Braxton! Lisa will be speaking about her recently released memoir, Dancing Between the Raindrops.

About Dancing Between the Raindrops:

Lisa Braxton's parents died within two years of each other - her mother from ovarian cancer, her father from prostate cancer. While caring for her mother she was stunned to find out that she, herself, had a life-threatening illness - breast cancer. In this intimate, lyrical memoir-in-essays, Lisa takes us to the core of her loss and extends a lifeline of comfort to anyone who needs to be reminded that in their grief they are not alone.
