An Evening with Sue Monk Kidd and her daughter Ann Kidd Taylor

Traveling with Pomegranates: A Mother-Daughter Story. Friday, September 18, 2009 - 7:00 pm. Part travel story, part spiritual quest and part induction into feminine passages, Traveling with Pomegranates is a memoir told in two voices. Set against the awe-inspiring backdrops of France and Greece, this intersecting autobiography chronicles an intimate mapping of two women-a fifty something and a twenty-something, a mother and daughter-each about to enter new and different life stages. Sue, painfully aware of aging, struggles to hang on to herself as change surrounds her. Ann, newly graduated from college and heartbroken by the sudden end of her long-term relationship, not to mention a cold rejection from her graduate school of choice, is benumbed by the classic question about what to do with her life. Sue Monk Kidds first novel, The Secret Life of Bees, has spent more than 100 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. She is also the author of several acclaimed memoirs and the recipient of numerous literary awards. Ann Kidd Taylor is a graduate of Columbia College. She has written personal essays for Skirt! Magazine in Charleston, South Carolina. This is her first book.
