Book Club with Local Author Emersyn Park | Puppet’s Shadow | March 31 | 6–8 PM
Join us at AMC Collective for our March Book Club featuring local author Emersyn Park and her novel Puppet’s Shadow.
We are so excited to welcome Emersyn in person for an evening of discussion, connection, and creativity. After reading Puppet’s Shadow, guests will have the opportunity to talk about the story, ask questions, and hear directly from the author.
About the Book:
Madison and Piper were identical twins — mirror images on the outside.
Confident and headstrong Madison Sterling seemed to have it all, yet boredom and rebellion led her down a self-destructive path. Her life spiraled beyond control.
Brilliant and humble Piper Sterling always succeeded — except when it came to saving her sister. As she watched Madison burn bridges, Piper became consumed with rescuing her twin, losing sight of her own principles along the way.
A tragic accident changes everything. Only one twin survives — but which one? And does anyone truly know?
We have several copies of Puppet’s Shadow available for purchase in-store for Book Club participants.
The evening will also include a themed craft inspired by the book.
Pre-registration is encouraged.
