KPL Podcast December 2025 with Special Guest Kristi Demeester

Kirkwood Public Library Episode 304

 This week on the KPL Podcast, we speak with bestselling author Kristi DeMeester about her new novel Dark Sisters. In this fierce and haunting Southern Gothic, DeMeester unravels an intergenerational curse that binds — and torments — the women of Hawthorne Springs, an affluent town ruled by a powerful church known as The Path. Spanning centuries, the story follows three unforgettable protagonists: a pastor’s daughter in 2007, a trapped housewife in 1953, and a suspected witch in 1750, each confronting the forces that seek to shape their destinies.
