Local author Shannon DalPozzal shares stories behind her best-selling memoir, Of a Woman: The Journey to Becoming, Thursday, July 10, at 6:30 p.m., at the Cushing Public Library. The Thomaston Public Library is co-sponsoring this collaborative community event, which is free and open to the public.

DalPozzal’s writing blends emotional depth with vivid storytelling, shaped by her Southern roots and coastal Maine life, according to a news release.

"With warmth, honesty, and a touch of humor, she invites readers into her journey of grief, healing, and self-discovery," said the release.

She is also the host of the podcast Unpacked with Shannon DalPozzal, and the creator of Shannon’s Guide, a travel book series spotlighting soulful experiences at some of her favorite destinations.

This special event will include a short reading from the book, reflections on the writing process, and a Q&A session. Books will be available for purchase and signing following the talk.
