MOREHEAD, KY — CoffeeTree Books is hosting for a discussion with Kentucky authors Bobi Conn and Sherry Robinson followed by Q&A and signing on Dec. 17 at 1:00 p.m
Bobi Conn was born in Morehead, Kentucky, and raised in a nearby holler, where she developed a deep connection with the land and her Appalachian roots. She obtained her bachelor’s degree at Berea College, the first integrated and first co-educational school in the American South. After struggling as a single mother, she worked multiple part-time jobs at once to support her son and to attend graduate school, where she earned a master’s degree in English with an emphasis in creative writing. In addition to writing, Bobi loves playing pool, cooking, being in the woods, attempting to grow a garden, and spending time with her incredible children. A Woman in Time is her first novel.
Sherry Robinson grew up in Lexington, Kentucky, and except for a brief time in Tennessee, she has lived in Kentucky all her life. She loves spending time with her husband, her sons and daughter-in-law, and her grandsons. She spent 15 years as the volunteer director for a local food pantry.
She is the author of Echo Her Lovely Bones(2022) and Shadows Hold Their Breath (2022).
“Prepare yourself to be immersed in a novel that will not only span more than two hundred years but will also take you through the full emotional life of women during that time.” —Silas House, Foreword to Echo Her Lovely Bones
“An impressive and thoughtful exploration of the mistakes good people make.”–Kirkus Reviews (starred review for Shadows Hold Their Breath)
