Eat & Read is the brainchild of Jane Wolfe, Harvard Divinity School graduate and co-owner of Melba’s Poboy Shop in New Orleans.  Every year she invites a variety of authors to the restaurant for book signings, book giveaways, and conversation.  Authors have included Colson Whitehead, Michael Pollan, Sophfronia Scott, Sister Helen Prejean and many more. On May 5 Barbara will sign free copies of An Altar in the World, visit with customers, and enjoy a poboy.
