Robson will launch her new book Something to Hold Onto: Simple Metaphors, Images, and Practical Tools to Transform Your Life in a conversation with Piggott, moderated by international best-selling author and Kate’s sister Jennifer Robson.

The book “offers metaphors to reframe our thinking and explore while encouraging us to be curious, attentive and intentional as we adopt new and creative ways to navigate discomfort and adversity,” said the Lakefield Literary Festival in a press release. “She asks us to consider the value in deciding that which we should hold tight and what could be let go.”

During their moderated conversation, Kate and Piggott will discuss what they have learned through their training, research, writing and interactions with the community and beyond regarding mental health. A question-and-answer period will follow the conversation.

The Lakefield Literary Festival is in its 31st year of presenting established and new Canadian authors in its events and festival each July.

Tickets for Inspiring Hope are $30, available online. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to mental health organizations in the community.
