First Friday at Addison’s, this Friday October 2nd, 6-9pm, Book Signing with Author Sally McMillan at 7pm, on her novel “My Name is Allen White.”

For more information, read below:

Allen White was taught to be a believer. Instead, he became a nuclear physicist, astrophotographer, and musician.
Raised in a faith community that discouraged questions, Allen’s inquiries took him places that his church and his father could not tolerate. Narrated by Allen himself at age thirty-three, My Name Is Allen White unfolds across three pivotal discoveries, each one a wonder, each one a wound.
The upheavals of mid-twentieth-century America provide an expansive backdrop to Allen’s personal challenges. But his great controversy unfolds in the narrow foreground of home.

About the Author

In retirement, she writes fiction, essays, poetry, and news articles at the intersection of communication, technology, and American life. Her writing is also informed by her earlier work as a high school teacher, book editor, nonprofit leader, journalist, technology-company executive, and higher-education consultant.
