Roger Williams Park Botanical Center

Meet author Stephen B. Casserly during the October Books and Banter, the monthly book club at Roger Williams Park Botanical Center.

We’re reading Stephen B. Casserly’s “John” TW: Sexual Assault

While living in the woods and struggling with daily life, a homeless man and a teenaged ward of the state named John form a powerful and life-changing bond. The story’s blend of wisdom, bravery, compassion, and struggle creates a compelling world that is emotionally true testimony to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of relationships. When a tragic event reveals the fragility of their ties, the man and the boy find themselves face-to-face with realities neither one of them could have imagined. Walking across this life-or death tightrope together tests their commitment to each other and ultimately to life itself. John: A Novel is a poignant confrontation with the realities of trauma, addiction, and the redeeming power of love that invites the reader to witness the depth of the human heart as it reveals itself in ever-surprising, ever-mysterious, and ever-glorious ways.

Stay for the rest of the day! Books and Banter will be followed by Greenhouse Jazz on October 19. These events are included with your $5 admission to the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center.
