Adelle Purdham Book Launch

We are excited to welcome Adelle Purdham to the store to launch her debut collection of essays, I Don't Do Disability And Other Lies I've Told Myself, joined by Caroline Topperman (author of the recently released Your Roots Cast a Shadow), and hosted by Nancy Huggett (winner of the 2024 RBC PEN Canada New Voices Award). This is a raw and intimate portrait of family, love, life, relationships, and disability parenting through the eyes of a mother to a daughter with Down syndrome. Join us for what is sure to be a moving evening of conservation on a wide range of topics—motherhood, female friendship, disability, injustice, marriage, desire, and more.
