LUDINGTON: Author Talk with Lini S. Kadaba

About this event

Join us as we welcome author Lini S. Kadaba for a special presentation of her novel Leftovers After Life . Leftovers After Life explores how we reckon with the past to reclaim the present.

When Neena's mother passes away, and she begins uncovering what's been packed away, both physically and emotionally. Neena must decide what to keep, what to discard, and whether it's ever really possible to make peace with the ones who raised us.

Lini will discuss how she came to write this story and the journey from first word to getting published. Then she'll read a couple of passages and take questions.

Copies of her book for purchase and signing at the close of the event.
