Two years ago, Ellie Norris found herself on the cusp of turning thirty and in the throes of a coinciding identity crisis. She was a stay-at-home mother of two, married, financially stable, but mentally quite the opposite. Convinced that a highly successful new career would be the solution, her job search quickly shifted to a quest for purpose rather than profit. 

Written in a self-deprecating, Southern tone, her memoir, Thirty, takes on universal truths of womanhood with humor and heart. The timely story chronicles a journey of physical, political, and spiritual transformation sparked by the profound love between mothers and daughters.

Join Ellie for her first reading of this memoir and a conversation about beginnings, creativity and facing your fears. Snacks and refreshments served. Free and open to the public.
