About this Event
P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Nina St. Pierre for a discussion of her newest book, Love is a Burning Thing — a riveting memoir about a daughter’s investigation into the wirings of her loving, unpredictable mother: a woman who lived her life in pursuit of the divine, and who started two big fires, decades apart — along with an audience Q&A and book signing!
Nina will be joined in conversation by Chloe Cooper Jones, Pulitzer Prize finalist & author of the memoir Easy Beauty. After the talk, Nina will sign copies of her book.
