Former Boston television anchor Liz Walker<\/a> will visit Wellesley Books<\/a> in Wellesley’s Central Plaza at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 26, and discuss her new book, “No One Left Alone: A Story of How Community Helps Us Heal,” according to a community announcement.<\/p>\n

Walker, the first Black woman to anchor the evening news in Greater Boston, will discuss how the book explores how a community can help people heal from trauma, drawing from Walker’s own experiences in Roxbury.<\/p>\n

Walker became a pastor in Roxbury after her journalism career, where she connected with families marked by both trauma and courage, according to the announcement.<\/p>\n

“Liz Walker accomplishes a difficult literary and theological balance with stunning clarity,” said Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III, pastor of Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ<\/a>, in a statement.<\/p>\n
