Sheri Reynolds to Discuss New Book May 31 at Hampton Public Library

Sheri Reynolds, the Ruth and Perry Morgan Chair of Southern Literature at Old Dominion University, will discuss her latest novel, "The Sweet In-Between," at the Hampton Public Library, Sunday, May 31, at 2 p.m.

Described by the publisher as "a lyrical tale of a family of misfits ... [and] a poignant story of an unforgettable character's coming-of-age," Reynolds' new book tells the story of an almost-18-year-old girl, Kendra "Kenny" Lugo, growing up in a Virginia tidewater town and struggling with teenage insecurities and confusion about her sexuality.
