You're invited to a special book launch celebrating award-winning author Margot Singer and her newest work, "Secret Agent Man"—a beautifully layered exploration of family history, memory, and the search for home. The evening will feature a captivating reading and conversation between Margot and fellow author and Denison University professor Amy Butcher. Together, they'll dive into the book's themes of displacement, identity, and what it means to piece together a personal history shaped by global upheaval. During the event, you'll have a chance to connect with the authors in the intimate, art-filled setting of the Granville Center for the Arts Gallery. Bring your curiosity and questions for the Q&A, then stick around to purchase a signed copy of Secret Agent Man, courtesy of our friends at Readers Garden Bookstore.
