Patricia Lynn’s The Grimm Sister is one of the featured readings at the 2026 Sweet Noise Festival of Readings. Each reading is followed by a talk-back with the audience.

Facing the end of her life, Charlotte Grimm imagines the fairy tales her famous brothers might have written if they had given a voice to the over-looked mothers in them. In a forest of her own creation, she gives those women a chance to tell their stories and wrestles with the sacrifices, doubts, and joys of motherhood. Directed by Christine Cirker.
