                                     May 22, 6:30 p.m.

→   Guest Speaker:  Dr. Mary Ashby McDonald

Dr. McDonald will read a passage from her recently published book, The Magnet. “McDonald points the reader to a “Magnet” who collects the deadly remainders from our pasts, leading to the healing of our own hearts.” The Magnet is McDonald’s touching journey and a must read for anyone who loves animal stories, struggles with childhood trauma, or just needs to know that there is hope for a better life. She and her husband, Jack, live in Catawba, where they are restoring a historic farm. She is also author of the bestseller Starting and Running Your Own Horse Business.
