*THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM*

Join us online for a conversation with acclaimed writer Amanda Peters as we discuss her bestselling debut novel The Berry Pickers and her short story collection Waiting for the Long Night Moon. Rooted in Peters’ Mi’kmaq heritage, The Berry Pickers follows the 1962 disappearance of a young girl from a Nova Scotia family working in Maine’s blueberry fields and the decades-long impact on her brother Joe, while also tracing the life of Norma, a girl raised in Maine whose unsettling dreams suggest a hidden truth about her past. A moving portrait of race, love, grief, and forgiveness, the novel has earned international acclaim and major literary prizes. Register now to take part in this discussion of family, identity, and resilience.
