David Sirota reading, reception in Nashville

By Debbie Boen | June 19, 2008 |

David Sirota, author of the acclaimed book The Uprising, will hold a reading, question and answer session and a book-signing/reception at Davis-Kidd Booksellers in Nashville on June 26 at 7 p.m. The event is sponsored by the Tennessee Alliance for Progress.

The private reception which starts at 8 p.m., will have music, food, wine and beer and David Sirota of course.  You can reserve a place at the reception by going to www.tennesseeallianceforprogress.org and make a $20 donation to TAP.
