Concord Author event with Shannon Mullen

On June 14, at 6:30 p.m. at Gibson’s Bookstore, 45 S. Main St., in Concord, author Shannon Mullen visits to share how a kind word and the power of connection can make a huge difference in a person’s life, as she presents her new book “In Other Words, Leadership: How a Young Mother’s Weekly Letters to Her Governor Helped Both Women Brave the First Pandemic Year.” Two unforgettable women from opposite poles of power in Maine forge an uplifting bond through good, old-fashioned letter writing that helps them navigate the COVID crisis. Both women bring civility, grace, wit, and wisdom to the challenge of protecting those who depend on them — in other words, leadership. No registration required.
