AUTHOR TALK & BOOK SIGNING WITH ANN HOOD
Join us for an evening with local author Ann Hood at the beautiful Imago Gallery in Warren, RI. Ann's latest memoir, Fly Girl is delightful, engaging, and takes you above the clouds and into the world of a flight attendant and the airline industry in the 70’s, when travel was glamorous and an event where passengers dressed up and dined on gourmet meals as they rolled across the skies. As a young woman, Ann dreamed of flying more than anything else and in Fly Girl, she shares that dream and we experience it all as it unfolds. Ticket price includes a signed copy of Fly Girl, and refreshments.
