"We are grateful that Heather will come back to Smyrna to spend an evening with us reflecting on her latest book," stated Linda Evans, president of the Friends of Smyrna Library organization. "One of the themes she will discuss will be the importance of the written word and the role it plays in collecting memories and sharing reflections across different generations. We expect it to be a thought-provoking discussion."
