About this Event
Book Launch: Hannah Thurman presents Mercy Hill
In conversation with Olivia Wolfgang-Smith
Local author Hannah Thurman launches her debut Mercy Hill, a family novel about four sisters growing up on the campus of the underfunded state mental hospital, where their strong-willed mother serves as head of psychiatry. A richly moving story of sisterhood, loyalty, and mental health in America, in this, Thurman captures the turmoil of growing up, the true meaning of a calling, and the indelible bonds of family—with sharp insight and real humor. Richard Russo, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Empire Falls, says: "Mercy Hill—both the place and the people who live there—will stay with you long after you put the book down." Thurman reads from and discusses with her debut with local author Olivia Wolfgang-Smith (Mutual Interest and Glassworks), before an audience Q&A and signing.
