Words and Wine is where local or traveling authors come to “Talk Story” at Kona Stories Book Store on April 4, 2023 @6PM. This literary favorite continues at Kona Stories book store, located in the Historical Keauhou Shopping Center, as three local or traveling authors talk about their recently published books. Kona Stories will serve light pupu and beverages during this event and everyone is welcome to join – best of all this is a free community event. Authors speaking in April are: Gloria Itman Blum who will present her new children’s book Tutu’s Secret, a poetic story about healing and life in the Hawaiian setting.
Yuko Green is an illustrator and author of children’s books, who has resided on the Big Island of Hawai’i since 1987.

In this true-life Julie and Julia meets Notorious RBG mash-up, former attorney Leslie Karst recounts how finagling her way into hosting an intimate dinner party for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg sends her on a journey of culinary discovery—and, ultimately, completely changes her life.
