SUMMARY:Book Talk with Sonny Buttar\, author of Daughters of Rosebud
DESCRIPTION:Left Bank Books and the Left Bank Books Foundation are delighted to present St. Louisan Sonny Buttar’s debut novel\, The Daughters of Rosebud (2026).\nJoin us at High Low Literary Arts Cafe to welcome Sonny Buttar for a presentation and book signing\, free and open to the public. Sonny will be in conversation with St. Louis author and Board Chair of Kimbilio for Black Fiction\, David Haynes. \nThe Daughters of Rosebud is a powerful exploration of sisterhood\, family loyalty\, and the courage it takes to heal. Teacher Salma Chaudhry lives a quiet life\, avoiding all attachments. Growing up in small-town Rosebud\, Salma and her older sister Asma were inseparable\, but amid their mother’s decline and their parents’ rigid expectations\, Asma makes a choice that tears the family apart. The fallout changes everything–and forces Salma to choose between her sister and her parents. Salma has spent years trying to forget. But as she recollects her past and considers reconciliation with her father\, a young student opens a surprising connection to Asma’s past. In finally facing her history\, Salma finds the bravery to love and hope again.
