Oceanside CA— Oceanside Public Library is proud to present a free program featuring critically acclaimed author Natashia Deón, who will discuss Grace, her distinctive, immersive, and hauntingly beautiful debut novel. Deón will speak on Saturday, February 18, at 3:00 p.m., in the Community Rooms at the Civic Center Library, 330 N. Coast Highway in Oceanside.
Deón’s book will be available for sale and the event will include a signing by the author. Immediately following, the North County African-American Women’s Association will host a reception for the author in celebration of Black History Month.
Grace, named a Kirkus Review Best Book of 2016 and an Entropy Magazine Best Book of 2016, is a sweeping, inter-generational saga featuring a group of outcast women during one of the most compelling eras in American history, the years before and during the Civil War. It is a universal story of freedom, love, and motherhood, told in a dazzling and original voice set against a rich and transporting historical backdrop. The Oceanside Public Library looks forward to hosting Deón and celebrating her remarkable novel, which has been incredibly popular with Oceanside readers.
