The Pest Collection:
An Evening with Local Author Kelly J. Sullivan
Thursday
May 8
6:00PM
Kelly J. Sullivan, the author of “Murder at Rocky Point Park” and “Murder & Mayhem in Washington County, Rhode Island” has released her latest novel “The Pest Collection.” Set in a fictional Rhode Island town in the year 1901, the novel concerns the inmates of a rustic asylum and their relationships with its housekeeper. Woven with historical fact, the book lays out the stigma long-attached to mental illness, and our collective need to let it go. Please join us at the Ashaway Free Library on Thursday, May 8, at 6PM for an evening with Kelly as she discusses her compelling new novel and the important message it carries. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
This event is free and open to the public but space is limited so registration is required. Please email [email protected] to sign up.
