Can’t wait to return to Victoria, BC on October 16, for an evening at the wonderful Bolen Books! Ami McKay makes her much-anticipated return to Bolen Books! She’s wowed us all with her incredible fiction, and now she’s back with her memoir, Daughter of Family G.

This incredibly informative and touching event will be one you won’t want to miss.
