Sea Islands Book Club in July

Don't miss the Sea Islands Book Club meeting on Tuesday, July 15, from 2-3 p.m. We'll be discussing The Spirit of Sweetgrass by Nicole Seitz. Essie Mae Laveau Jenkins is a 78-year-old sweetgrass basket weaver who is facing losing her home, her basket stand, and her independence. Her dead husband talks her into coming to Heaven, where she reunites with Gullahs and African ancestors. Essie Mae must find inner strength to keep her South Carolina family together. Hope to see you @ the meeting!

Thank you for choosing to read my book! I wish I could join you, but I'll be out of town that day. Many blessings on your discussion,
Nicole Seitz
