Annetta P. Lee returns to Oktibbeha County this week to discuss the books she has written over the past several years.
Lee, a 1973 Alexander High School graduate who grew up on her grandparents' Starkville-area farm, is the author of "A Bitter Rose," "Fragment in the Sand" and "Path of Thorns."
On Wednesday [July 23], she will lead a 6:30 p.m. public program in the John Grisham Room of Mississippi State University's Mitchell Memorial Library. The MSU Libraries and Richard Holmes Cultural Diversity Center are co-sponsoring the two-hour event.
After leaving Mississippi, Lee moved to Oklahoma, where she now lives with her husband Kenneth. Although she started writing in grade school, Lee has said she did not get serious about her craft until 1990.
"A Bitter Rose," her first work, was published in 2000 by Milligan Press of Los Angeles.
For more information on the program, contact Gail A. Peyton at (662) 325-7671 or gpeyton@library.msstate.edu.
