CHILD: A MEMOIR with Judy Goldman
May 15 @ 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Outside and in person on the Summit Coffee Stage
Main Street Books and Charlotte Writers Club North present an afternoon with JUDY GOLDMAN. The event is free to attend.
ABOUT THE BOOK – A 2022 Katie Couric Media Must-Read New Book • A personal meditation on love in the shadow of white privilege and racism Child is the story of Judy Goldman’s relationship with Mattie Culp, the Black woman who worked for her family as a live-in maid and helped raise her—the unconscionable scaffolding on which the relationship was built and the deep love. It is also the story of Mattie’s child, who was left behind to be raised by someone else. Judy, now eighty, cross-examines what it was to be a privileged white child in the Jim Crow South, how a bond can evolve in and out of step with a changing world, and whether we can ever tell the whole truth, even to ourselves. It is an incandescent book of small moments, heart-warming, heartbreaking, and, ultimately, inspiring.
ABOUT JUDY GOLDMAN – Judy Goldman is the award-winning author of seven books including Together: A Memoir of a Marriage and a Medical Mishap, named one of the best books of 2019 by Real Simple. She lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Secret Society of Crafters – Hearts on Fiber
May 18 @ 10:00 a.m.
208 South Main Street
Crafting is more fun with other people, which is why we created the “Secret” Society of Crafters. The title says “secret,” but we’re a not-so-secret, not-so-exclusive group who meets to stitch, craft, crochet, knit, sit and talk. We may or may not talk about knitting, yarn bombing, hand dying, or the latest stitch. We may even talk about world domination. You won’t know unless you come. Connect with crafters in the area, find the motivation to pick up that project again, and benefit from the wisdom of a passionate crafting group. The “Secret” Society of Crafters meets outside the store every Wednesday and Sunday at 10:00 a.m. weather permitting. We hope to see you there!
