Virtual Book Launch for Brenda Barker’s Next Chapter

Join us to celebrate the launch for author Wendy Tokunaga’s latest novel, Brenda Barker’s Next Chapter. It’s a celebration of second (and third!) chances, the power of believing in yourself—and finding your voice when it matters most. Wendy will be with us to answer questions and read from the book. Hope to see you there!

From the back cover:

At sixty-four, Brenda Barker’s life is anything but over—though someone should tell that to her butcher, who insists on calling her “ma’am” when the other customers are “miss.” With her husband gone, her only child moving to Japan, and a literary “expert” telling her she has no business trying to be a writer, Brenda does what any sensible woman would do: ignores the advice, packs her bags, and heads to a high-stakes writers’ conference in the California wine country.

Armed with a manuscript, a bottle of pinot noir, and a fierce determination to prove the world wrong, Brenda embarks on the adventure of a lifetime—complete with wine-fueled confidence, surprise friendships, and a few romantic sparks she definitely didn’t plan for.

Brenda Barker’s Next Chapter is a celebration of second (and third!) chances, the power of believing in yourself, and finding your voice when it matters most.
