A Conversation with Michelle Horton, author of Dear Sister
Wednesday, April 10 | 6:30 p.m. | The Cabaret
| |
Please join us as Michelle Horton discusses
her new memoir, Dear Sister: a memoir of secrets, survival, and unbreakable bonds.
The memoir starts September 2017 when her sister, Nikki Addimando, was incarcerated for killing her abuser. This moderated Q&A will be about the ensuing activism, startling encounters with the criminal justice system, how Nikki’s case turned into a national discussion and a test case for a new law on domestic violence, and how this six-year ordeal shaped so many lives.
Copies of Dear Sister will be available for purchase.
This event is co-sponsored by Counseling Services and School of Social & Behavioral Sciences. This event is open to the public. Any questions please contact counseling.services@marist.edu.
