Author Talk

Description

Saturday the 21st we will be welcoming Robert Hawkins to the Ripley
Library for an author talk. Robert’s book, A Book of Matches discusses a
time and place (Peebles, Adams Co.) in the 1940s where Robert’s
grandfather was unexpectedly and brutally murdered. Robert not only
discusses the murder and the attempt to solve the crime, but also the
time period—what was life like in Peebles as well as the United States
during the 1930s and 1940s? Robert is a graduate of West Union High
School, and now is a professional musician in Nashville, TN. This is a
book he has been compelled to write—not only for his family history, but
the story of strength in overcoming adversity and the power of family.
Please join us in welcoming Robert E. Hawkins to the library. Robert
will have copies of the book for sale.
