City Lights Bookstore is in Sylva, North Carolina, a small Main Street town tucked in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains. Our goal is to share the literature of the Southern Appalachian region with the world, and the world of books with our community.
Robin Whitley will be at City Lights Bookstore Saturday, January 21st at
7 p.m. to read from her book, In a Southern Closet. She will also
discuss the importance of journaling as a means for a person to think
about his or her life and being able to tell that story. In a Southern
Closet is a collection of poetry, reflections and essays revealing the
challenges a lesbian Christian faces in living an open life while
seeking to live a life of faith. Whitley's goal for the book is to
assist the lesbian reader in identifying the goodness in her own life
and for the book to be shared with friends and loved ones in order that
the issues of faith can be seen alongside the gift of being a lesbian.
