Written in the Waters: A Memoir of History talk by Tara Roberts
2025-04-24 17:30 (America/Chicago) | The NewSouth Bookstore, 105 S. Court Street, MONTGOMERY, AL, 36104, United States
Join us for a great program featuring Tara Roberts, author of the newly released Written in the Waters: A Memoir of History, Home, and Belonging. Roberts will be in conversation with journalist and Black Joy founder Jonece Starr Dunigan. For fans of Cheryl Strayed’s Wild and Jesmyn Ward’s Men We Reaped, this searing memoir by a National Geographic explorer recounts one woman’s epic journey to trace the global slave trade across the Atlantic Ocean—and find her place in the world. Written in the Waters is revelatory and deeply moving. Critics call Roberts a pioneer and inspiration. Roberts joins us at The NewSouth Bookstore on Thursday, April 24 at 5:30pm.
