Local author Zelda Lockhart will read from and sign copies of her new novel, Fifth Born II: The Hundredth Turtle. This sequel to her first novel, Fifth Born, “is a beautifully written, courageously honest account of the life of Odessa Blackburn, a memorable narrator born with all odds stacked against her.  Lockhart is a masterful storyteller and this novel will hold her readers spellbound,” writes Jill McCorkle.  Lockhart—also the author of the novel Cold Running Creek—facilitates a variety of workshops that empower adults and children to self-define through writing.
