Book Signing Wednesday, May 29th from 6:30 - 8:00 PM by Charity Breckenridge Scholes

The Phoenix Public Library will hold a book signing for local author Charity Scholes who was born Charity Breckenridge in Phoenix, NY in 1961. Writing has always been a passion of hers, having started poetry as a child, journaling as a teen, and now her auto biography.  Her story is one of amazement at what a merciful, loving, forgiving God can do with a life that had been torn to shreds, and then handed to Him in a thousand pieces. Her book is Shattered Dreams - extra-ordinary events in the life of an ordinary woman.  This event is free and open to the public.
