"Loving Scott: A Memoir" Book Reading
2023-08-10 19:00 - 20:30 | Quatrefoil Library: Spirit on Lake Community Room, 1220 E Lake St, Minneapolis, MN, 55407, United States
Join author Pat Horner at Quatrefoil Library as she reads from her book “Loving Scott: A Memoir.” A moving story about her son Scott, his career as drag queen Miss Demeanor, his passing, their relationship, and much more.

The reading will be Thursday, August 10th from 7-8:30pm at Quatrefoil Library.

“Pat Horner is an artist and writer living in Woodstock NY. When her son, Scott, passed away in 2014, she began writing stories about their life together through addiction and recovery in Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, and New York. Scott’s drag life as Miss Demeanor (Misty) in the lower East Village lead to his successful career as a makeup artist. Filled with deep love and grief, Horner’s story of a symbiotic relationship with her gay son cries out to be told in the atmosphere of today’s anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric.”
