Ghostbread by Sonja Livingston6/4/2023 ![]() This year the selected book was Queen of the Fall, by Sonja Livingston. The goal of “If All of Rochester Reads the Same Book…” is to encourage people to connect to others in our community through reading and discussion, and through the shared experience of literature. I was thrilled when I saw Sonja Livingston is touring the Rochester Area doing readings followed by Q&A and book signings with Writers & Books as part of the “ If All of Rochester Reads the Same Book” program, and knew I had to get myself to an event.Įach year, Writers & Books selects one book for the Rochester area to explore together. I will be encouraging both my daughters to read Ghostbread when the time is right, it is beautifully written, but it also offers important lessons. Without a doubt, Ghostbread was my favorite book I read last year, and possibly ever. ![]() Sonja beautifully describes not only the hardships, but also the beauty, and joy she found in unlikely circumstances. A memoir of Sonja Livingston’s youth spent in some of the Rochester area’s most poverty stricken neighborhoods. Last year I read Ghostbread by Sonja Livingston, and immediately connected with the book. ![]() I think authors are rock stars – so meeting an author is a terribly exciting thing for me, so I just had to share my recent meeting of author Sonja Livingston. ![]()
