Local author Kevin Powers book launch event June 9 – Book Loft

Book enthusiasts, residents, and visitors alike are invited to celebrate a book launch on Tuesday, June 9 at 6 p.m. at The Book Loft. From the bestselling and award-winning author of "The Yellow Birds" comes a gorgeous, haunting love story set in the Virginia mountains and on the battlefields of World War I France.

In "The Yellow Birds," Kevin Powers illuminates the savage, complex, and timeless bonds of loyalty, honor, and heroism. His latest book, "Children of the Wild," captures what it means to be human in times of loss — and how, even in darkness, the light of friendship and love endures.

“Forged in romantic rivalry and trench warfare, a tense friendship between two young Virginians leads to dramatic consequences … Himself a combat veteran, Powers describes the bloody fray with exacting realism embellished by the occasional poetic flourish.” - Booklist

Tickets include food, drinks, and a copy of the book. Powers will give exclusive insight into his experience of writing such a cinematic novel. First edition copies will be available and signed by the author himself.

Tickets required. Questions: call 904-261-8991 or email kquirk@thebookloftamelia.com.
