A special evening with local author, Amy Sonnichsen


The Page Turner Book Club had the privilege of enjoying the company and conversation with local author of the RED BUTTERFLY, Amy Sonnichsen.

 

The evening of March 10th was a pleasant one.   TPTBC met at Becky's Coffee Corner at 6pm for our club meeting.  We had the pleasure of discussing Sonnichsen's book that we, as a group, had read prior to the book signing and discussion session.  We rarely are able to have a conversation with the actual author of our monthly book club selections, so you can imagine our anticipation and appreciation.

Amy, who possessed an upbeat personality offered an approachable manner and was easy to converse with.  We had the privilege of hearing stories behind the book, as well as how the role of writing has played in her life.  She shared her background about the time she lived in China which allowed her to reflect on her own understanding and experience.  We were able to get a glimpse of what contributed to the vivid, heartfelt story of the RED BUTTERFLY.  All the while, she graciously and gladly received all of our amateur book club questions.  :)

 

We all left the meeting feeling pretty lucky that we were able to sit in a "special seat" while relishing our guest of honor.  We left with gained insight behind the story as well as the unique experience of meeting a truly nice and talented individual.
