A raw and moving portrait of a woman torn between living an authentic life and the pressure of perfection.

P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Karen Mehiel to celebrate and discuss her new book Teetering; a novel that asks what does it mean to measure a life—not by the impossible standards we set for ourselves, but by the truths we dare to face and the fears we choose to confront?

Karen will be in conversation with Dr. Joyce Brown, and will sign books after the talk.

Doors open at 5:30pm with the talk starting closer to 6:00pm. Come early and grab a drink from the P&T Cafe!

Tickets and books are available both on eventbrite and at the door.
