AUTHOR WATCH: Lorene Cary Reading @ the Free Library, 5/12

POSTED: Tuesday, May 10, 2011, 11:00 AM

Lorene Cary, a 1995 Pew Fellowship of the Arts winner, has a new book, If Sons, Then Heirs, about an African-American Philly contractor whose great-grandmother learns that she doesn't own her land in South Carolina, where she's lived for over fifty years. In addition to title complications, the family works on various relationship problems, including righting the wrongs of their patriarch's violent death fifty years ago.

Cary, who also received the 2002 Philadelphia Award, is speaking at the central branch of the Free Library (1901 Vine St.) this week. You may recall that one of her previous books, The Price of a Child, was chosen for the One Book One Philadelphia program in 2003. This is one worth checking out.

Thu., May 12, 7:30 p.m., free, Central Branch, Free Library, 215-567-4341, freelibrary.org.
