Are you a book lover itching to hang out with your kind of people? The Homewood Library gives you a chance to meet authors and dive into the art of storytelling.
Join us as we welcome Mary Ellen Pethel author of Howdy! The Minnie Pearl Story. Mary Ellen is also an associate professor and academic leader at Belmont University, where she directs key interdisciplinary and global initiatives―including the Belmont Global Honors Program. This biography follows Sarah Colley as she studied dramatics in Belmont College, fully intending to be a serious actress, but while touring with an Atlanta company, she created the Minnie Pearl character that became her life's work. Her first Grand Old Opry appearance was on the radio show in 1940, followed by 27 years of touring. Minnie was beloved. Join us as we explore this country classic star, Minnie Pearl.
