Garden Wall Bookshop welcomes Kathy Joy La Plante, local author of The Summons: A Call to Love (Wrong Date on Flyer)

This event: Has LGBTQ content, May be of interest to the LGBTQ community || Join me at Garden Wall Bookshop on Wednesday, March 26, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. for a reading and book signing event for my debut historical novel, The Summons: A Call to Love.

This emotionally rich story follows three courageous lesbians who forge family, reclaim their voices, and survive profound loss. Spanning WWI through the 1990s, it sheds light on the long, often hidden history of lesbians in the military.

In a moment of renewed political tension and challenges to LGBTQ+ rights, these themes feel more urgent than ever. The Summons is a reminder of our resilience, our history, and the hope that fuels the ongoing fight for equality.

I’d love to share this evening—and this story—with you. || Free
