After the talk, Putney will sign her books, which may be purchased before the event. Seating is limited. Register in advance at https://programs.hcplonline.org/event/9878963. The first 100 customers who register and attend the event will receive a free copy of "Silver Lady" courtesy of Kensington Books.
