MetroWest Readers Fest invites you to join author Jennifer De Leon at the Goodnow Library in Sudbury on Thursday, Sept. 30 @ 7 pm. This event is a part of ONE, a community-wide read organized by MWRF.

Whether or not you’ve read White Space, we enthusiastically invite you to a lively evening. Come hear Jenn discuss her family and her upbringing, her writing life, and what “White Space” means. If you’d like a head start, feel free to check out the Resources section of the MetroWest Readers Fest website for discussion questions and articles about and by Jenn. Attendees will have ample opportunity to ask questions, share thoughts or just listen.
