A New York Times and USA Today best-selling author will make a stop in Arkadelphia as part of a statewide reading program geared to encourage reading and promote book discussion in libraries across Arkansas.
Alabama author Pattie Callahan Henry will visit the Community Family Enrichment Center, 301 N. 23rd St., at noon Monday, July 15, 2024. Henry’s stop is among four others that are part of the If All Arkansas Read the Same Book program, which has been in existence since 2001. The local event is presented by the Clark County Library.
The 2024 selection is Henry’s novel, “The Secret Book of Flora Lea”. Inspired by the true story of child evacuees from London during the second World War, the novel explores what happens when a woman stumbles across a mysterious children’s book and long-held secrets about her missing sister and their childhood seen in the English countryside come to the surface.
The author of 16 novels including “Surviving Savannah” and “Becoming Mrs. Lewis”, Henry is an award-winning writer and cohost of Friends and Fiction, a weekly live web show and podcast. The full-time author is a mother of three and lives with her family in Alabama and South Carolina.
