Join us on October 22 for a virtual book talk hosted by Women's Advocates and sponsored by Hennepin County Library. Author Kelly Sundberg will discuss her bestselling memoir "Goodbye, Sweet Girl," which chronicles her personal experience with domestic violence and how she left an abusive marriage. It is a story of trauma, but also one of love, community, and hope.
There will be live ASL interpretation!
