Author Bushra Rehman's visit to Tompkins Cortland Community College was like a rose blooming in the midst of a bleak February. Attendees from all across the campus enjoyed the reading, and creative writing students in particular felt engaged by her warm Q&A style. She even offered her own copy of her novel to a curious young writer. What a gift to enjoy a renowned writer in our midst!
