EDMONDS—Local Edmonds author, Tori Peters will hold an event celebrating her recently published memoir at Edmonds Bookshop on September 17, 2026 at 6:00 pm. She will be joined in conversation by Cami Ostman, author and founder of the Narrative Project.
Tori Peters is an active member of the Edmonds writing community. She has written for local news outlets, The Narrative Project Anthologies and is also a poet. Her latest work is a memoir, My View from Here: My Journey Around the World as a Diplomat’s Wife, published in March of this year by Sidekick Press.
“In 1977, Tori Peters arrived in Bamako, Mali, with her husband, four young children, and a cat—beginning her life as a spouse of a U.S. diplomat. She didn’t speak French, didn’t know what was expected of her, and was unprepared for the poverty and heartbreak she’d encounter. Yet in the women of Mali, she found strength, resilience, and a deeper understanding of herself. Over the next two decades, Tori’s journey carried her through postings in Rwanda, Tunisia, Taiwan, Canada, and India—years marked by cultural discovery, political unrest, and profound personal growth. When tragedy struck, she learned to stand on her own, ultimately walking the Camino de Santiago alone to honor her courage and the spirit of women across time. My View from Here is an inspiring memoir of adventure, loss, and transformation—one woman’s journey to find purpose, independence, and belonging in every corner of the world.” – Author’s website.
