Book Signing and Short Reading with Diane McKinney-Whetstone

Please join us as we welcome Diane McKinney Whetstone for an enlightening afternoon celebrating the release of her new novel, Our Gen! Diane will be sharing a short reading with readers during our first Lightbulb Literacy Author Event. The afternoon will also include a Question and Answer segment along with a Book Signing.

Each ticket includes one hardcover copy of Diane McKinney Whetstone's new novel, One Gen.

The author of the critically acclaimed novels Tumbling, Tempest Rising, Blues Dancing, Leaving Cecil Street, and Trading Dreams at Midnight, Diane McKinney-Whetstone is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Black Caucus of the American Library Association’s Literary Award for Fiction, which she won twice.

"Rooted in intrigue, humor and potential romance, though never far from heartache, Our Gen may be as close as revered and award-winning Philadelphia author Diane McKinney-Whetstone ever comes to the Beach Read section. Its main foursome — all nonwhite residents of a schmancy 55+ “active living” community somewhere outside Philly — like to drink, crack jokes and smoke W**d, but there are secrets bubbling just under the surface that may threaten the group dynamic. As always, it’s about characters for McKinney-Whetstone, and these four leap off the page with charm, vitality, and vulnerability.”—Philadelphia Inquirer
