Lisa See To Appear For Roswell Reads

Lisa See is set to appear in Dunwoody on Saturday, June 20, as part of Roswell Reads, a long-running metro Atlanta literary series. Roswell Reads said the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author will discuss her new novel, “Daughters of the Sun and Moon,” at 5 p.m. at St. Luke’s Presbyterian Church. The event also includes a signing, and organizers have promoted ticket packages that include a personalized book copy and photo access. Roswell Cultural Arts Center, which is handling ticketing, says VIP tickets are already sold out. ### Why is Lisa See coming to Dunwoody for Roswell Reads? Roswell Reads said Lisa See will appear in partnership with the City of Roswell and Bookmiser, the independent bookseller tied to the event. The group’s website says See will discuss “Daughters of the Sun and Moon,” a new novel that it says is being released 11 days before her Georgia appearance. (roswellreads.com) Lisa See’s official events page lists a June 20, 2026, stop in Dunwoody at Saint Luke’s Presbyterian Church, hosted by Bookmiser, as part of her “Daughters of the Sun and Moon” book tour. The author site describes it as a ticketed and bundled event. ### Where is the event, and when does it start? St. Luke’s Presbyterian Church, at 1978 Mount Vernon Road in Dunwoody, is listed as the venue for the event. (roswellreads.com) Roswell Reads and Lisa See’s official events page both say the program begins at 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 20, 2026. Roswell Reads has branded the appearance as one of its author events even though it is being held in Dunwoody rather than Roswell. (lisasee.com) The organization says it has brought authors to the area since 2005 through its program with Friends of the Roswell Library. ### What kinds of tickets are being sold? (roswellreads.com) Roswell Cultural Arts Center lists general admission for $23.50. Its event page also lists a $49.25 premier ticket that includes general admission seating and a personalized hard copy of “Daughters of the Sun and Moon.” Roswell Reads gives the same base prices and says premium single tickets include “an autographed and/or personalized” hardback copy of the book. (patch.com) The Roswell Cultural Arts Center page says VIP tickets are sold out. Patch reports that an earlier version of the ticket offer included VIP admission, reserved seating for the first 80 purchasers and a photo with the author. (roswellcac.com) Because the current ticketing page says VIP tickets are sold out while still offering general and premier options, buyers may want to check the box office listing for the latest availability. ### Are organizers saying the event could sell out? (roswellreads.com) Roswell Reads says it expects the event to sell out and points to its 2025 presentation with Fredrik Backman, which it says sold out in five days. The group uses that comparison in its event notice to urge readers not to wait to buy tickets. Patch carried the same warning in April, saying reserved seating was limited and urging readers to secure tickets quickly. (roswellcac.com) Patch identified the post as a community-contributed item. ### What will Lisa See talk about? Roswell Reads says See will discuss “Daughters of the Sun and Moon,” which it describes as a novel centered on three women in Los Angeles during the Chinese massacre of 1871. (roswellreads.com) The organization says See began researching that historical event in the mid-1990s, around the time she published her first book, “On Gold Mountain.” (patch.com) Roswell Reads also identifies See as the author of “Lady Tan’s Circle of Women,” “The Island of Sea Women” and “The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane,” among other titles. The event listing and the author’s own tour page both describe the Dunwoody stop as a talk-and-signing appearance. Roswell Cultural Arts Center says tickets for the June 20 event are available through its box office, and Roswell Reads directs buyers there as well. (roswellreads.com) The program is scheduled for 5 p.m. at St. Luke’s Presbyterian Church in Dunwoody.
