Speaker Series: Susan Meissner in Conversation with CJ Lotz

Join The Charleston Library Society and Buxton Books in welcoming bestselling author Susan Meissner and Garden & Gun senior editor, C.J. Lotz as they discuss Meissner’s newest book, The Nature Of Fragile Things on Zoom. Meissner demonstrates an extraordinary talent for capturing pivotal moments in history that not only make for emotional, page-turning stories, but also deepen our understanding of the world. Her latest book, The Nature Of Fragile Things, comes as our planet faces dramatic natural disasters resulting from climate change, and the West Coast awaits the “Big One”—its next high-impact earthquake along the San Andreas Fault.
The Nature Of Fragile Things is the tale of one young woman whose life is forever changed by the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906—one of the deadliest and most devastating quakes in the history of the United States. The heroine’s fate becomes deeply entwined with two women she meets, and who help her rebuild from the ground up in the earthquake’s aftermath. 

This event is free, but an RSVP is required. To RSVP, call (843) 723-9912 or fill out the form at this page. Respondents will receive Zoom link and passwords on the afternoon of the event.
