TCU/UCC Celebrate Bestselling Author Sue Monk Kidd

UCC is partnering with the TCU Alumni Association on April 6 to co-host a livestream conversation with bestselling author Sue Monk Kidd '70. Sue is the author of The Secret Life of Bees and The Invention of Wings. April marks the release in paperback of Sue's latest novel, The Book of Longings, the story of a rebellious young woman growing up in first century Nazareth. Instead of marrying the older widower chosen for her, she marries 18-year-old Jesus. Sue's book is historical fiction grounded in meticulous research and written with a reverential approach to Jesus' life that focuses on his humanity. Our own Russ Peterman will be part of the discussion and participants will be invited to submit questions. In preparation for the event, books autographed by Sue are available now through TCU Campus Store.

Mark your calendar for April 6 at 12 noon and watch for registration details coming soon. For more information on Sue Monk Kidd, here's a recent article from TCU Magazine.
