Miami Presents: Alumni Book Club Deep Dive with author Daisy ​Hernández

You're invited to join the Miami University Alumni Book Club! In this online community, Miami alumni can connect and enjoy books related to lifelong learning, social issues, literature, psychology and other user-submitted ideas. There is no cost to participate – you just have to get a copy of the book to enjoy.

Looking to dive deeper into this session's book, The Kissing Bug? Wish you could ask the author the questions you had while reading or even about their writing/thought process? Now you can! Join the Miami University Alumni Association and The Kissing Bug author and Miami Professor, Daisy Hernández on Thursday, December 1 at 7:00 p.m. 

We will be chatting with Daisy live on Zoom as she talks about her book and answers readers' questions!
