We're looking forward to a wonderful Saturday morning with Martha Anne Toll, who will join us for a signing and meet-and-greet in celebration of her debut novel, Three Muses! Three Muses is a love story that enthralls: a tale of Holocaust survival venturing through memory, trauma, and identity, while raising the curtain on the unforgiving discipline of ballet. It's a fantastic read for lovers of historical fiction, nuanced relationship dynamics, and performing arts in fiction. We invite you to come chat with Martha Anne Toll and have your book signed on our spacious front porch.

Author Kiese Laymon says it best: “Martha Anne Toll's Three Muses is so surprisingly soulful. The surprise doesn't lie in the existence of textured prose that explores dance, music, love and time in wholly different ways; it lies in how that textured prose actually creates a new time signature wholly dependent on practice and discipline. This is phenomenal writing. It just is.”
