Author to speak at library

The Georgia Author Program for January at the Peachtree City library will feature Millam McGraw Propst, author of "It May Not Leave a Scar" and "A Flower Blooms on Charlotte Street." She will be in the downstairs room of the library Thursday, Jan. 9, at 7 p.m.

Propst is currently working on a film adapted from "A Flower Blooms on Charlotte Street," a story of a young girl coping with the death of her mother and having to help on the family farm. Her father decides she needs to learn things only a woman could teach her, such as the proper way to set a table and how to cook and sew. He sends her from the farm in Missouri to his sister's house in Asheville, N.C. The film is expected to be released this summer with a premiere at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta.

The library will also present a slide show of "Paris In the Age of Impressionism," the current exhibition at the High Museum of Art Sunday, Jan. 12, at 2 p.m. Rosemary Walden, a dozent for the High, will have many stories about the paintings from the Musee d'Orsay.
