Author Visit and Book Signing - Kiersten Hall
Join us on Monday, August 17th at 6pm as we welcome author Kiersten Hall, to the Bowman Regional Public Library. Kiersten will be reading and signing her new book, 'An Unexpected Journey'.
From the Author:
BOOK READING & SIGNING at the Bowman Regional Public Library on Monday, August 17, 2026, at 6:00 pm for 'An Unexpected Journey'.
Life moments covered will include how and why I began life as a nomad, meeting Fred and building a friendship with him, his death, and what has happened (and continues to happen) between us since March 2025.
Review:
”An Unexpected Journey shows love moving through our reality and beyond the veil. A story of love in its most indefinable state of existence and how it connects with us; an innate language that souls understand, and the mind fails to comprehend. When our walk upon this earth is quiet, still, and open, the soul feels love, and that deep love can find each of us in unexpected places.”
W. A. Carroll
Alexander City, AL.
For more info on the book: https://www.foxpointepublishing.com/an-unexpected-journey
Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event.
