A Smoky Mountains Homecoming — Christy Scott Cashman at Zelda Dearest
North Carolina native and bestselling author Christy Scott Cashman brings her new novel ‘What Happened in Beulah’ home to Asheville. A coming-of-age Southern Gothic mystery set in a small Smoky Mountains town in the 1980s — a new girl vanishes, buried family secrets surface, and Dolly Parton and Dollywood’s 1986 opening run through its heart. Reading, conversation, and book signing at the Fitzgerald-themed Zelda Dearest hotel, hosted with the Asheville Literary Society & Social Club. Free community literary event.
