Author Beth Duke, Official Book Launch of Delaney's People: A Novel in Small Stories

Peerless Book Store in Johns Creek is proud to host Alabama Native, Beth Duke to launch her new novel March 3rd.  We hear there will be Alabama wine and treats!

A review from Beth's website:

"The first question a stranger gets asked in the South is "who are you kin to?" Now, we aren't being rude or nosy. It's our way of trying to make a connection with you, someone whom we don't know and don't much understand, especially if you hail from more than two counties (or states) away. But you don't have to be from the South to relate to Delaney's People. Walking through Delaney's world is like taking a visit back home or attending a family reunion. Or going to a visitation (a "wake", for you Northern folks.) We all have a grandmother like Margaret. A mother like Ellen. An uncle or a brother like Tom. People who, God help us, just want "the best for us". We have all suffered at the hands of a snooty little cousin like Caitlin. We know the fierce love of a friend like Lily. We hear the gentle wisdom in Millard's voice, tempered by patience born of long-suffering. We all have a sad, sweet Daniel in our lives. Delaney's world is a small window into how our lives are intertwined with the ones around us, for better or worse. There is heartbreak in this world, and joy, and loss. At the very center is a lovely little girl named Delaney. Sit a spell, and visit with Delaney's People: A Novel In Small Stories. You might find someone you're "kin to."
