SUMMARY:David Cleveland signing copies of his new novel Time's Betrayal
DESCRIPTION:Time’s Betrayal is an epic multi-generational family saga covering the years from the battle of Antietam to the fall of the Berlin Wall. The novel chronicles a son’s search for a larger-than-life father\, a CIA agent who disappeared in the early fifties\, leaving behind a distraught wife and lovers\, not to mention a Pandora’s box of devastating secrets and unanswered questions that baffled all who investigated his fate–a fate as beguiling as it is mysterious. This is also a story about the crumbling edifice of the eastern Establishment after World War II and in Vietnam-era America. A poignant coming-of-age tale\, it is related though the eyes of Peter Alden\, whose school days are shattered when he overhears a conversation about his father from two CIA colleagues: how John Alden\, a world-famous archaeologist turned OSS and CIA officer\, who vanished through Checkpoint Charlie\, may have been a traitor. \nAlthough Time’s Betrayal is a literate genre-bender and suspenseful page-turner full of twists and turns\, the novel is really about how family history shapes who we are and how memory — the river of Time– guides our joint destinies\, testing our most cherished hopes\, shaping who we are and what we believe\, and teaching us that the essential truths of our humanity–freedom\, justice\, love\, and honor–must be reclaimed in every generation.

SUMMARY:Charity Tillemann-Dick will be signing copies of her debut memoir The Encore
DESCRIPTION:The remarkable true story of acclaimed opera singer Charity Tillemann-Dick\, who received not one but two double lung transplants and went from struggling to draw a single breath to singing at the most prestigious venues in the world.\nCharity Tillemann-Dick was a vivacious young American soprano studying at the celebrated Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest when she received devastating news: her lungs were failing\, her heart was three and a half sizes too big\, and she would die within five years. Inexplicably\, despite her fatal pulmonary condition\, she could still sing. Medical experts advised Charity to abandon her musical dreams\, but if her time was running out\, she wanted to spend it doing what she loved.\nIn just three years\, she endured two double lung transplants. Teetering between life and death\, she slowly learned to breathe\, walk\, talk\, eat\, and sing again. With new lungs and fierce determination\, she eventually fell in love\, rebuilt her career\, and reclaimed her life. Over a decade after her diagnosis\, she has a chart-topping album\, performs around the globe\, and is a leading voice for organ donation. Weaving Charity’s extraordinary tale of triumph with those of opera’s greatest heroines\, The Encore illuminates the indomitable human spirit. It’s the story of confronting devastating challenges with love: the intimate love of a mother for her daughter\, a man for a woman\, a doctor for her craft\, and a singer for her music. Ultimately\, grace from God and strangers enabled the work of love to save one young woman’s breath and allowed her to reclaim her life.

SUMMARY:Please join us to celebrate the publication of It's My Party with author Jeannette Watson
DESCRIPTION:Born into a celebrity family (her father was Watson’s son\, who turned the company into the powerhouse it still is today\, and her mother\, Olive\, had dated Howard Hughes and John F. Kennedy)\, Jeannette Watson’s larger-than-life family hid a number of secrets. Behind a façade of order and glamour\, Tom Watson often experienced dark moods; his depression was something he passed on to his daughter. Jeannette felt she could never measure up to her mother―a legendary beauty―and kept her nose buried in books. \nThrough her years as a debutante\, then young wife and mother\, Watson kept her feelings under wraps until she had a mental breakdown. As part of her fight to heal herself\, she left her husband\, taking their son and moving to New York City to experience its heady 1970s freedoms. She opened the legendary Upper East Side bookstore Books & Co.\, which became a gathering place for literati. Her personal life soared once more when she met her second husband\, Alex Sanger\, grandson of Planned Parenthood’s founder\, with whom she had two more sons. After a long and fulfilling run\, the bookstore closed and Watson found her way down a new path to become a spiritual healer. \nIt’s My Party is a portrait of another era\, a guide to dealing with depression\, and one woman’s effort to understand herself.
