Dear Sister: A Memoir of Secrets, Survival and Unbreakable Bonds with Michelle Horton
Run Time: 75 min.
Join Hope’s Door and Susan Williamson, owner of Booksy Galore, for a conversation with Michelle Horton, author of an acclaimed book that explores the vast impact domestic violence and criminalized survival has on a family and community.
A breathtaking memoir about two sisters and a high-profile case: the author’s sister, Nikki Addimando, spent 7 years incarcerated for killing her longtime abuser, and was released from Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in January of 2024; the author left in the devastating fall-out to raise Nikki’s young children and to battle the criminal justice system. Dear Sister is a profound, intimate story about not just surviving trauma, but turning it into hard-won wisdom. It is a story of resilience and the unbreakable bond of family.
Books will be available for sale at the event.
