Author’s Visit with CBI’s Book Club

We are pleased to welcome Fran Steinmark, a local author, to discuss one of her novels, The Woven Skirt.

ABOUT THE BOOK Kat is in a place of disconnect. She is twenty-eight years old, overweight, unhappy and afraid to take the necessary steps to free herself from an abusive marriage. Her self-confidence and zest for life have been stripped away. To help embolden Kat, her mother has given her an old, ratty skirt and an intriguing, personal journal, which reveals the secrets of several generations. How for heaven’s sake is this supposed to improve her daughter’s predicament?
