Jim Embry, an international globe trotter, is self-described as being an activist since he was 10 years old.  He is also a griot—a storyteller—his family and the communities that he calls called home, so it's fitting that his debut book is entitled THE GREAT REMEMBERING: From Kentucky Soil to Global Table. If you do not already have a copy of Jim's book you can purchase it at the book signing and have it signed.

And for those not in the know it may be cheaper to purchase books from your favorite online retailer, but know that by purchasing books directly from one of these authors, they get to retain more income from the book sales, thus allowing them to write more books!
