Bookmarks, Winston-Salem, N.C., hosted author, podcaster, and Duke University professor Kate Bowler (l.) for the launch of her book Joyful, Anyway (Dial Press). She was in conversation with Winston-Salem's own Virginia Evans, author of The Correspondent, in front of a sold-out crowd of 675 readers. Bookmarks' event coordinator Becca Naylor said, "Both authors brought some much needed light this week, and we were honored to help share Kate's message of finding joy when happiness feels out of reach."
