Just in time for Halloween, bestselling author Katherine Howe will be speaking to the Ladies' Night Book Group on Monday, October 19th at 7pm via phone. Don't miss the chance to talk with this fascinating author. The book follows Connie Goodwin, a candidate for a Ph.D. who discovers that there are hidden secrets lurking in her research. Scenes from Salem at the time of the witch trials enhance the mood of the story and dovetail with events in the "present" (the book is set in 1991). Registration is not required, but it's best to get your reserve on the book now. Or, alternately, if you choose to purchase the book, you can get a free signed book plate from the author that night. Call (330) 425-4268 x2 for more information.
