SUMMARY:Diane Kiesel launches her latest book When Charlie Met Joan
DESCRIPTION:Charlie Chaplin\, the silent screen’s “Little Tramp\,” was beloved by millions of movie fans until he starred in a series of salacious\, real-life federal courtroom dramas. The 1944 trial was described by ace New York Daily News reporter Florabel Muir as “the best show in town.” The leading lady was a woman under contract to his studio—red-haired ingénue Joan Barry\, Chaplin’s protégée and former mistress. Although he beat the federal criminal trial\, Chaplin lost a paternity case and had to pay child support despite blood type evidence that proved he was not the child’s father. \nA decade later during the Cold War\, the U.S. government used the Barry trials as an excuse to bar the left-leaning\, sexually adventurous\, British-born comic from the country he had called home for forty years. Not only did these trials have a lasting impact on law; they also raise concerns about the power of celebrity\, Cold War politics\, the media frenzy surrounding high-profile court proceedings\, and the sorry history of the casting couch. When Charlie Met Joan examines these trials from the perspective of both parties\, asking whether Chaplin was unfairly persecuted by the government because of his left-leaning political beliefs\, or if he should have been held more accountable for his cavalier treatment of Barry and other women in his life. \nDiane Kiesel is a retired judge of the New York Supreme Court. Her other books include She Can Bring Us Home: Dr. Dorothy Boulding Ferebee\, Civil Rights Pioneer\, and Domestic Violence: Law\, Policy\, and Practice.

SUMMARY:Laura Robson launches her debut A Curse for the Homesick
DESCRIPTION:On Stenland\, there comes a time known as skeld season: one day\, any woman on the island can wake with three black lines on her forehead\, the mark of a skeld. Skeld season comes around without warning\, and while each window of time lasts only three months\, anyone a skeld turns to stone is very much dead. \nThat’s how Tess’s mother killed Soren’s parents. Maybe for this reason alone\, Tess and Soren should not have fallen in love. Since the time her mother was a skeld\, Tess has wanted to leave Stenland\, to run from the windswept island\, from her family and friends. She is unwilling to bear the responsibility of one day killing anyone\, let alone someone she loves. Soren has been determined to stay\, to live out his life in the place he knows as home\, even if that life could be cut short during the latest skeld season. They cannot see eye to eye—and yet they cannot stay apart. She tries to come back for him. He tries to leave for her. But can your love for one person outweigh everything else combined? And how do you decide how much you’re willing to risk\, if it might mean destroying someone else in the process?

SUMMARY:Emma Otheguy launches her latest book Cousins in the Time of Magic
DESCRIPTION:History is alive with magic. That’s what zany Tía Xia is always telling cousins Jorge\, Camila\, and Siggy. Daredevil Jorge couldn’t be more different than his cousins: Camila is a dreamer who adores animals and Siggy is an aspiring influencer who has an exclusive party to attend. And their aunt has many secrets\, including a mysterious diamond-encrusted sword that Jorge definitely wasn’t supposed to see. \nBut when the three stumble upon a time portal in their aunt’s yard\, they are transported back to 1862\, a past filled with wonders—and dangers. To return to the present\, they must race to deliver the sword to General Ignacio Zaragoza in time for the historic Battle of Puebla in Mexico: the foundation of the holiday Cinco de Mayo. \nAs their journey to Mexico takes them through the Civil War–era United States\, the cousins see just how much US history has been shaped by Latin communities. They must find the power within themselves to make sure things happen as they’re supposed to\, without altering the past.
