Christiansburg Library wraps up their 2018 Fall Author Series with author Mary Carter Bishop on Tuesday, October 16, 2018. Mary Bishop will be here to present from her new book "Don't You Ever: My Mother and Her Secret Son". “Digging deep into her family's lives for understanding, Mary Bishop unfolds a sweeping narrative of religious intolerance, poverty, fear, ambition, class, and social expectations. A riveting memoir about a family haunted by a shameful secret, Don't You Ever is a powerful story of a woman's search for her long-hidden sibling and of the factors that profoundly impact our individual destinies." -- Adapted from book jacket A graduate of Columbia Journalism School, Mary Carter Bishop was on the Philadelphia Inquirer team that won a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of nuclear leaks at Three Mile Island. Her Roanoke Times & World-News series on poisonings and fraud by exterminators and other pesticide users won a George Polk Award and was a Pulitzer finalist.
