Introducing our New ABTB Book Club Series!

Adventures by the Book is delighted to welcome 7 new ABTB Ambassadors, who are helping us launch our new ABTB Book Club Series. The monthly series will alternate between virtual Zoom events, in person San Diego, California events, and hybrid (in person AND virtual) Harrison, New York, events. Each month, our Ambassadors will select a new NovelNetwork author and book to discuss, and we will send out invites for you to join us as you are able, whether in person or virtually.

We invite you to join us at our hybrid ABTB Book Club featuring acclaimed author Karen E. Osborne, in a moderated book club discussion with 2 of our esteemed Ambassadors, Giovanna Ionnace and Janis Daly, and YOU! 

This hybrid opportunity offers you two ways to participate: live and in person, or virtually. If you are in the Harrison, New York area, come join us live at the Harrison Public Library, 2 Bruce Avenue, Harrison, New York or, if you prefer or are unable to attend in person, come join us virtually via Zoom.

Whether you are already part of an existing book club, or have been wanting to join one, our ABTB Book Club is open to all. Read the book, which we encourage, or not, if you don’t have time, but come join us anyway and be part of the shared reading experience.

*Pre-order your copy of True Grace (below) and we will ship it to you, so that you can read it prior to the event and have Karen sign your copy at the event.

About the Author and Book

Karen E. Osborne always knew she possessed a talent and immense passion for writing. Her novels followed a forty-year career, first as an academic administrator and then co-owner of The Osborne Group, serving as a consultant, trainer, and motivational speaker. Karen then decided to refocus on her life passion for writing and telling awe-inspiring stories. She released her first novel, Getting it Right, in 2017 to notable acclaim and received attention for her compelling writing style that aims to explore questions of race, privilege, and family loyalties. Since then a murder mystery, Tangled Lies, and a family suspense drama, Reckonings, both award winning, have come out.

Karen’s newest novel, True Grace, is a historical fiction story set in 1924 during the Harlem Renaissance, chronicling the powerful journey of an immigrant, mixed-race woman from The Congo, England, and Jamaica as she fights for her family’s survival. Inspired by real people and events, Grace must navigate the misogyny and racism of the courts, banks, child welfare system, and bad actors to hold her family together.

Calling on her grit, determination, and grace, she must overcome harrowing circumstances. Readers will find themselves hooked from the first riveting chapter and cheering for Grace each step of the way.
