Lydia – From Heterosexual to Bisexual to Lesbian to God by Lydia G. Henderson was launched to a standing-room-only audience at The Alley Lounge last Saturday night, according to House of Nehesi (HNP), the book’s publisher.
On Monday, Henderson said the public response to her book on the following Sunday was encouraging, and "being at the airport on Monday morning and seeing people walking around with my book in their hands is amazing." At the October 1 book party the new author gave a surprise song performance during a video presentation of meditative music, nature images, and scriptural quotes. Guest speaker Dr. Judith Arndell called Henderson’s autobiography "courageous." At the end of the program a rush of impromptu well-wishes from guests that took hold of the microphone, added a family touch to the book party in the Lounge’s VIP nightclub setting, said HNP. Lydia is available at Van Dorp, Arnia’s, and Shipwreck bookstores, Family Bookstore, and Fresh Market.
