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.
