Writer and comedian Erin Judge presents her debut novel Vow of Celibacy. After much introspection and years of struggling with empty conquests, plus-sized fashion designer Natalie makes a vow of celibacy, signed and witnessed by her best friend Anastaze. Soon, she finds herself on the catwalk instead of behind the scenes, despite her mother's fat-phobic diet commentary, and her life begins to take a new shape. Clever, sexy, and compassionate about body image, bisexuality, and female friendship, Vow of Celibacy is one of 2016's most charming debuts.
***Erin will read, sign, and perform a little stand-up with local comedians, so come ready to laugh.***
