Friday, July 7, 4 p.m. Orcas Public Library

— from Holly King for Orcas Public Library —

Whether you’ve read The Girl Who Wrote in Silk by Kelli Estes or not, you’ll enjoy this informative presentation by the author. She’ll speak about her inspiration and research for the story, all of which takes place on Orcas Island. Also discussed will be the true history of the Chinese in the Pacific Northwest.

The Girl Who Wrote in Silk is a beautiful story that brought me to tears more than once, and was a testament to the endurance of the human spirit and the human heart. A powerful debut that proves the threads that interweave our lives can withstand time and any tide, and bind our hearts forever.” –Susanna Kearsley, New York Times bestselling author

Darvill’s Book Store will be on hand for purchasing books for the author to sign afterwards. Light refreshments will be served. All are welcome.
