Award-winning writer Amanda Peters joins us to discuss her stunning debut novel, The Berry Pickers. In conversation with author Lisa Moore.

A riveting story about the search for truth, the shadow of trauma, and the persistence of love across time, The Berry Pickers charts a tragic mystery that remains unsolved for nearly fifty years after the four-year-old girl of a Mi’kmaq family from Nova Scotia goes missing from the blueberry fields of Maine in July 1962.

This event is part of our signature Salon Series, where we host local and international authors, artists and thinkers in conversation about their new books and big ideas.

It is also part of our Indigenous Celebrations series, generously supported by TD Bank Group, through the TD Ready Commitment.
