Author Jessica Grant signing copies of Come, Thou Tortoise for fans.
On Friday evening, author Jessica Grant, read selections from her novel Come, Thou Tortoise, and thoughtfully answered the numerous questions posed by those in attendence. On Saturday, we had the opportunity to engage in additional discussions about the novel, attendees participated in a story-telling activity, and MHC instructor Stephanie Hancock presented a thought-provoking session on IQ and intelligence. She had the test subjects, err audience, answer tough IQ questions, and even showed off some Newfie sayings. We had three performances from FUT in the Hat, a great way to see the novel in a new light.
Some comments from event participants:
“Very much enjoyed the novel and Jessica was very articulate and charming.”
“Thanks to the committee for a delightfully risky selection. The author herself – her openness and honesty – was an added bonus.”
“Thank you for taking us out of the box.”
