Event Details
Please join us for a special evening presenting local author Judy Reeves and her featured book, When Your Heart Says Go. What sort of mad longing besets a woman―nearing 50 and recently widowed―to sell everything she owns, buy an around-the-world plane ticket, pack a single suitcase, and set off alone on a year-long journey without a plan or agenda? When Your Heart Says Go answers that question. Set in 1990-91, Judy’s story takes readers from San Diego through 11 European countries, the then-Soviet Union, and finally India, during the lead-up to the first Gulf War. Judy's presentation will be followed by an audience Q & A and book signing.
Judy Reeves is an award-winning writer and teacher whose books include A Writer’s Book of Days, Writing Alone/Writing Together, The Writer’s Retreat Kit, and Wild Women, Wild Voices. Judy leads private workshops and retreats, teaches at writing conferences internationally, and at San Diego Writers, Ink, a nonprofit literary center she cofounded. Judy lives and writes in San Diego, amid bulging bookshelves and an ancient Underwood typewriter that claims its own social media fan base.
