Jackie Shannon Hollis
October 4, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeWhen Jackie Shannon Hollis marries a man who doesn’t want children, she joyfully commits to a childless life. But when she holds her newborn niece, Jackie begins to question her decision. As she navigates the overlapping roles of wife, daughter, aunt, sister, survivor, counselor, and friend, she explores what it means to choose a different path. This Particular Happiness (Forest Avenue) delves into the messy, beautiful territory of what we keep and what we abandon to make the space for love.
