Event Description

Join our Circle of Readers as they read and discuss the bestseller, Think You'll Be Happy by Nicole Avant.  

Summary: "Avant grew up surrounded by some of the most extraordinary artists of our time. Her parents, entertainment mogul, Clarence Avant, and legendary philanthropist, Jacqueline Avant, turned their home into a place of refuge and inspiration for a generation of geniuses. She drew on that magical upbringing to create a stellar career in the music business, become the U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas, and produce critically acclaimed award-winning films and documentaries. Then an unthinkable tragedy struck: her mother was fatally shot in December 2021. In her memoir, Avant turns the pain of her family's loss into the fuel that pushes her forward into an even more committed life of love and activism, and tragedy into inspiration, providing a roadmap for anyone working to remain positive and anchored in hope."
