Discussion and Signing with Author Bobi Conn

Bobi Conn was born in Morehead, Kentucky, and raised in a nearby holler, where she developed a deep connection with the land and her Appalachian roots. She obtained her bachelor’s degree at Berea College, the first school in the American South to integrate racially and to teach men and women in the same classrooms. After struggling as a single mother, she worked multiple part-time jobs at once to support her son and to attend graduate school, where she earned a master’s degree in English with an emphasis in creative writing.

Bobi currently has three books all available to purchase at Georgia Blossom Books.

In the Shadows of the Valley - A clear-eyed and compassionate memoir of the Appalachian experience by a woman who embraced its astonishing beauty, narrowly escaped its violence, and struggles to call it home.

Someplace Like Home - A novel about a mother and daughter in Appalachia who unpack the traumas of the past in a powerful and reflective story about family, healing, and moving on.

A Woman in Time - And a novel about a woman who faces the challenges and the constraints of life in Prohibition-era Appalachia in this sweeping and richly rewarding novel about endurance, survival, and redemption.
