Carleton’s Regional Carls Program

The San Diego Carleton Club

invites you to a

Carleton Author Reading

Sunday, September 13, 2009, 5 to 7 p.m.

(5 p.m.—potluck dinner; 6 p.m.—reading)

at the home of Ann Johns ’59

Join the San Diego Carleton Club for a potluck dinner and an author reading with Carleton alumna Debra Grubb Austin ’79.  Debra will read a chapter from her first novel, Daughter of Kura, which will be published by Simon & Schuster in August.  It is a coming-of-age story set in Africa a half-million years ago (the characters are Homo erectus).  Our discussion may touch on the evolution of religious beliefs, human evolution in general, and mid-life career changes (Debra used to be an obstetrician).

For more information, reviews, and where to buy the book, go to http://debraaustinbooks.com.  Please bring a dinner item to share.  Beverages and paper goods will be provided.  Questions, or to R.S.V.P. by September 3, contact Suzanne Bacon ’96.
