Thank you to the Roasted Bookery for an amazing evening , the Burnett-Eaton Museum Foundation, along with the attendees, we enjoyed the discussion with Terah Shelton Harris on her National Book Tour, "where the wildflowers grow." She dropped so many seeds of wisdom, "Bloom where you are planted." Terah Shelton Harris is an author worth following. I cannot loan my book. Support our local community Book Store, Roasted Bookery.
