SUMMARY:Christin Brecher launches her debut mystery Murder's No Votive Confidence
DESCRIPTION:Jessica Sterling’s candlelight-themed nuptials promises to be the perfect kick-off to the summer’s first official holiday weekend. Stella’s thrilled to have been chosen to provide the decorative centerpiece for the wedding ceremony: a two-foot-tall scented unity candle—a symbol of the happy couple’s love. But it looks like the bride-to-be’s uncle won’t be walking his niece down the aisle after he’s found dead. The murder weapon is Stella’s seemingly indestructible candle\, now split in two. \nWhen a beloved local bartender is arrested\, Stella’s sure a visiting police captain running the case made a rush to justice. With superstitious brides-to-be canceling orders and sales waxing and waning at her store\, the Wick & Flame owner decides to do some sleuthing of her own. Abetted by a charming reporter and challenged by the town’s sexiest cop\, Stella’s determined to shine a light on the truth and uncover a killer who’s snuffing out her own flame.

SUMMARY:Emma Otheguy launches her new YA book Silver Meadows Summer
DESCRIPTION:Eleven-year-old Carolina’s summer–and life as she knows it–is upended when Papi loses his job\, and she and her family must move from Puerto Rico to her Tía Cuca and Uncle Porter’s house in upstate New York. Now Carolina must attend Silver Meadows camp\, where her bossy older cousin Gabriela rules the social scene.  Just as Carolina worries she’ll have to spend the entire summer in Gabriela’s shadow\, she makes a friend of her own in Jennifer\, a fellow artist. Carolina gets another welcome surprise when she stumbles upon a long-abandoned cottage in the woods near the campsite and immediately sees its potential as a creative haven for making art.

Will it work?

SUMMARY:Dr. Adrienne L. Simone\, Dr. Jaqueline Worth\, and Danielle Claro celebrate the launch of their New Rules of Pregnancy
DESCRIPTION:Picture this: a calm\, chill pregnancy book with the magical soothing powers of a yoga class. That’s the approach of The New Rules of Pregnancy. Here the experts guide you\, the modern pregnant woman\, through all aspects of pregnant life in an easy-to-digest\, compassionate\, and motivating way. Instead of a detailed week-by-week look at your baby’s development\, it’s all about you\, and how to help your pregnancy go as smoothly as possible. It assumes an intelligent\, busy reader (who\, somewhere inside\, is shouting\, “Just tell me what to do!”). Every aspect of pregnant life is covered—from the practical details (how to fly pregnant) to the complex issues (“What makes it postpartum depression?”). The book also covers that critical “fourth trimester”—“Nursing” and “How to Feel Like Yourself Again”—because once the baby is born\, self-care typically goes out the window\, and you really need someone to have your back. Its strong point of view and expertise come from gynecologist Adrienne Simone and obstetrician Jaqueline Worth—two renowned New York doctors dedicated to bringing patients the safest\, calmest\, least invasive pregnancies possible. The book’s voice—motivating\, supportive\, real—comes from Danielle Claro\, coauthor of The New Health Rules.\n\n“As caring as the physicians who wrote it\, The New Rules of Pregnancy contains all you need to know about the amazing sci-fi adventure that is having a baby. Wise\, beautiful\, and needed.”—Amy Poehler “A mindful\, intelligent guide—supportive\, concise\, and full of actionable advice. This is the pregnancy book I would give to my daughter.”—Frank Lipman\, MD

SUMMARY:Bridget Moynahan and Amanda Benchley launch their new book Our Shoes\, Our Selves
DESCRIPTION:Ask any woman about her favorite pair of shoes\, and you’re sure to get an answer that goes beyond their material design.

Beautifully illustrated with a portrait of each woman and her chosen shoes\, the stories explore what most women already know: that what we wear can have power and significance beyond merely clothing our bodies. Our Shoes\, Our Selves reveals these remarkable journeys\, and the steps these inspiring women have taken to get there\, with the hopes of encouraging all women to forge their own paths.

SUMMARY:Leonard Marcus launches his new book celebrating Children's Book Week Posters
DESCRIPTION:For families\, art lovers\, and history buffs alike\, Leonard S. Marcus’s visual history tour of 100 years of children’s book illustration gathers in one glorious volume the posters of the annual Children’s Book Week! \nFeaturing work from early luminaries such as N. C. Wyeth and Marcia Brown to more contemporary illustrators like David Wiesner\, Mary GrandPré\, Christian Robinson\, and Jillian Tamaki\, this beautiful collection showcases the conceptual and iconic images that have defined children’s books for generations of young readers. \nWhile the posters within these pages are linked in their resounding advocacy for young people’s literacy\, they are distinguished by the styles and mediums of their creators and by the historical\, social\, and cultural influences of their times. Renowned historian Leonard S. Marcus traces these developments in the children’s book field with incisive descriptions to accompany each poster.

SUMMARY:Louise Penny will be here signing copies of her new book Kingdom of the Blind from 5-7pm.
DESCRIPTION:When a peculiar letter arrives inviting Armand Gamache to an abandoned farmhouse\, the former head of the Sûreté du Québec discovers that a complete stranger has named him one of the executors of her will. Still on suspension\, and frankly curious\, Gamache accepts and soon learns that the other two executors are Myrna Landers\, the bookseller from Three Pines\, and a young builder. None of them had ever met the elderly woman.The will is so odd and includes bequests that are so wildly unlikely that Gamache and the others suspect the woman must have been delusional. But what if\, Gamache begins to ask himself\, she was perfectly sane? When a body is found\, the terms of the bizarre will suddenly seem less peculiar and far more menacing. But it isn’t the only menace Gamache is facing. The investigation into what happened six months ago—the events that led to his suspension—has dragged on\, into the dead of winter. And while most of the opioids he allowed to slip through his hands\, in order to bring down the cartels\, have been retrieved\, there is one devastating exception. Enough narcotic to kill thousands has disappeared into inner city Montreal. With the deadly drug about to hit the streets\, Gamache races for answers. As he uses increasingly audacious\, even desperate\, measures to retrieve the drug\, Armand Gamache begins to see his own blind spots. And the terrible things hiding there. \n\nPlease note that this will be a straight booksigning–no reading or presentation for this event. Kingdom of the Blind will be available for purchase the day of the event and attendees are encouraged to buy the book here. If you can’t make it between 5-7 pm\, please call us and we will reserve you a signed copy.

SUMMARY:Please join us to celebrate the launch of Jasper Johns with author Fiona Donovan from 7-8 pm.
DESCRIPTION:In the late 1970s\, after the artist’s explosive Pop Art beginnings and a period of abstraction\, representational objects made their way back into Jasper Johns’ work. Supported by the artist’s words and previous scholarship\, Jasper Johns is the first comprehensive study of his later paintings and works on paper. \nFiona Donovan helps contextualize images that have personal significance for Johns and explain a broader humanist discourse. Readers learn of his absorption with the appropriation and abstraction of images taken from Cézanne\, Grünewald\, Picasso\, and others\, and discover the inspiration Johns finds in his immediate surroundings. Progressing through several key phases and turning points in the artist’s career\, Donovan brings to light not only this subtext of inspirations and influences but also Johns’ circle of contemporaries\, collaborators\, and personal perceptions and obsessions. Johns’ compelling and enduring curiosity is omnipresent and reflected in his stylistic changes\, but the shifting themes\, motifs\, and moods of his work are all underpinned by his exceptional skill. \nThis publication offers a rare occasion to view and further understand a compellingly beautiful but elusive oeuvre.

SUMMARY:Please join us to celebrate the launch of a new book on Harrie T. Lindeberg with authors Peter Pennoyer and Anne Walker
DESCRIPTION:This architectural tour brings to light the genius and influence of Harrie T. Lindeberg\, a leader of the American Country House Era who synthesized Scandinavian\, European\, and American traditions. Harrie T. Lindeberg (1880–1959) was born of Swedish immigrants who settled in New Jersey. He apprenticed with architect George A. Freeman\, joined the prestigious firm McKim\, Mead & White in 1901\, and forged out on his own in 1906\, beginning fifty years of independent practice. An impressive client list includes the leading American families—Du Pont\, Havemeyer\, Doubleday—for whom he built houses in affluent suburbs and resorts across the country—Rhinebeck\, Newport\, Grosse Point\, Lake Forest\, and the Gold Coast of Long Island. \nArchitect Peter Pennoyer and historian Anne Walker bring Lindeberg’s work to life in Harrie T. Lindeberg and the American Country House. This survey of Lindeberg’s most stunning and influential projects includes more than 200 photographs—including new color photography by Jonathan Wallen—floor plans\, and sketches. After introducing Lindeberg’s personal history and professional background\, the book traces his career from his acclaimed debut in Pocantico Hills to larger developments like Meadow Spring and the export of his signature style to the Onwentsia Country Club in Lake Forest\, Illinois.

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.

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: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:Celebrate the NYC launch of Marti's Song for Freedom with author Emma Otheguy
DESCRIPTION:As a boy\, José Martí was inspired by the natural world. He found freedom in the river that rushed to the sea and peace in the palmas reales that swayed in the wind. Freedom\, he believed\, was the inherent right of all men and women. But his home island of Cuba was colonized by Spain\, and some of the people were enslaved by rich landowners. Enraged\, Martí took up his pen and fought against this oppression through his writings. By age seventeen\, he was declared an enemy of Spain and forced to leave his beloved island. \nMartí traveled the world\, speaking out for Cuba’s independence. But throughout his exile\, he suffered from illness and homesickness. He found solace in New York’s Catskill Mountains\, where nature inspired him once again to fight for independence. \nWritten in verse\, with excerpts from Martí’s seminal Versos sencillos\, this book is a beautiful tribute to a brilliant political writer and courageous fighter of freedom for all men and women. \n

SUMMARY:Please join us to celebrate the launch of Grace Hopper with author Laurie Wallmark and illustrator Katy Wu

Delighting in difficult ideas and in defying expectations\, the insatiably curious Hopper truly was “Amazing Grace” . . . and a role model for science- and math-minded girls and boys. With a wealth of witty quotes\, and richly detailed illustrations\, this book brings Hopper’s incredible accomplishments to life.
