How Love Survives

Boston Book Festival · First Church in Boston — Auditorium · 66 Marlborough St · Boston · Back Bay · Boston

Four novelists on love. In Terah Shelton Harris’s Where the Wildflowers Grow, a grieving woman finds a found family on an Alabama flower farm; Rylan Hynes’s Grafting is about queer love and rural identity on a Maine apple orchard; Kerri Maher’s Summer of Love follows two sisters in 1967 San Francisco; and Jessica Brilliant Keener’s Evening Begins the Day concerns two families in crisis. BBF board member Christine Mastrangelo hosts.
