Local author Dayton Ann Williams will be on hand Saturday, April 17 from 4 to 6 pm to sign her new book Through the Grief: A Mother’s Journey, which tells of her experiences after the tragic loss of her son.

“Joy and celebration; her eldest son returns home from his third tour in Iraq. Shock and grief; 83 days later upon an honorable discharge from the Marines his tragic death in a hit-and-run accident. As she imparts the most devastating and heartrending chapter of her life, author Dayton Williams shares that which will forever linger in her mind; will evermore remain in her heart.”
