The Friends of the Essex Public Library are hosting their Fall 2017 Evening with a Writer fundraiser on Friday, November 10th, 2017 at Roma Ristorante in Tappahannock. This time around, Evening with a Writer has taken on a special Girls Night Out theme in honor of our featured author, Jennifer Coken. Jen’s debut memoir, When I Die, Take My Panties, is both inspirational and laugh-out-loud funny. So you can expect that same spirit to underline her Evening with an Author presentation. In When I Die, Take My Panties Jen discusses losing her mother to cancer, a tragedy that helped her transform her life and discover the gifts she’d been missing.

Tickets for Evening with a Writer are available at Essex Public Library or can be purchased online. Copies of When I Die, Take My Panties will be available for purchase and signing after dinner. As always, proceeds from Evening with a Writer support library programs and services.

Thanks to our event sponsors! Essex Inn, Barbour Printing, Rappahannock Times, WRAR, WNNT, and Crying Shame.
