Local author, Marcie Stokman, book signing Jan. 16 at Cuyuna Brewing Company

With a passion for reading and motherhood, Crosby resident Marcie Stokman began a worldwide movement. Stokman is the founder and president of the Well-Read Mom international book club encompassing over 2,000 women, 500 chapters and growing. The concept is simple. Read more. Read well.
As an already nationally recognized speaker, Stokman released her first book this month, “The Well-Read Mom: Read More. Read Well.” The book shares how a desire to read great literature and make meaningful connections became the catalyst for the Well-Read Mom (WRM) international book club and movement. With practical tips and suggested reading lists, the book inspires women to make time to read and shows how it is possible.
Stokman’s passion for the power of deep reading to transform lives and communities is central to her concerns and activism. Her training as a clinical nurse practitioner in mental health gives her a keen ear for listening and engaging in problem-solving and encouraging women in finding their passion and purpose.
Through the power of reading more and reading well,  Well-Read Moms across the country are finding friendships and meaning through their shared reading experiences in their WRM book clubs.  
Stokman celebrates the release of her book Thursday, Jan. 16 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Cuyuna Brewing Company, 1 East Main Street, Crosby. Stokman will present a book  talk at 7:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Signed copies of Stockman’s book will be available for sale.
