SUMMARY:Artis Henderson reads from her debut Unremarried Widow
DESCRIPTION:Artis Henderson was a free-spirited young woman with dreams of traveling the world and one day becoming a writer. Marrying a conservative Texan soldier and becoming an Army wife was never part of her plan\, but when she met Miles\, Artis threw caution to the wind and moved with him to a series of Army bases in dusty southern towns\, far from the exotic future of her dreams. If this was true love\, she was ready to embrace it. But when Miles was training and Artis was left alone\, her feelings of isolation and anxiety competed with the warmth and unconditional acceptance she’d found with Miles. She made few friends among the other Army wives. In some ways these were the only women who could truly empathize with her lonely\, often fearful existence— yet they kept their distance\, perhaps sensing the great potential for heartbreak among their number. It did not take long for a wife’s worst fears to come true. On November 6\, 2006\, the Apache helicopter carrying Miles crashed in Iraq\, leaving twenty-six-year-old Artis—in official military terms—an “unremarried widow.” A role\, she later realized\, that her mother had been preparing her for for most of her life. In this memoir Artis recounts not only the unlikely love story she shared with Miles and her unfathomable recovery in the wake of his death— from the dark hours following the military notification to the first fumbling attempts at new love—but also reveals how Miles’s death mirrored her father’s death in a plane crash\, which Artis survived when she was five years old and which left her own mother a young widow.

SUMMARY:Joshua Max Feldman reads from his debut The Book of Jonah
DESCRIPTION:A major literary debut\, an epic tale of love\, failure\, and unexpected faith set in New York\, Amsterdam\, and Las Vegas \n\n\nThe modern-day Jonah at the center of Joshua Max Feldman’s brilliantly conceived retelling of the book of Jonah is a young Manhattan lawyer named Jonah Jacobstein. He’s a lucky man: healthy and handsome\, with two beautiful women ready to spend the rest of their lives with him and an enormously successful career that gets more promising by the minute. He’s celebrating a deal that will surely make him partner when a bizarre\, unexpected biblical vision at a party changes everything. Hard as he tries to forget what he saw\, this disturbing sign is only the first of many Jonah will witness\, and before long his life is unrecognizable. Though this perhaps divine intervention will be responsible for more than one irreversible loss in Jonah’s life\, it will also cross his path with that of Judith Bulbrook\, an intense\, breathtakingly intelligent woman who’s no stranger to loss herself. As this funny and bold novel moves to Amsterdam and then Las Vegas\, Feldman examines the way we live now while asking an age-old question: How do you know if you’re chosen?

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Rose Stanton celebrates the publication of her debut Henny
DESCRIPTION:Henny is a chick who’s just a little different from everyone else in the barn—and who learns to embrace her special gift in this whimsical and charming picture book debut from Elizabeth Rose Stanton. \nHenny doesn’t look like any other chicken she knows. Instead of wings\, she has arms! \n  \nSometimes Henny likes being different—she enjoys the way her arms flutter like ribbons when she runs—but other times…not so much. She just can’t do things the same way as the other chickens.But doing things the same as everyone else is overrated\, as Henny comes to realize in this warmhearted story\, sweetly told and illustrated with fresh\, expressive artwork that celebrates the individual in everyone. \n

SUMMARY:Diane Jacobs reads from her latest Dear Abigail
DESCRIPTION:Much has been written about the enduring marriage of President John Adams and his wife\, Abigail. But few know of the equally strong bond Abigail shared with her sisters\, Mary Cranch and Elizabeth Shaw Peabody\, accomplished women in their own right. Now acclaimed biographer Diane Jacobs reveals their moving story\, which unfolds against the stunning backdrop of America in its transformative colonial years. \nAbigail\, Mary\, and Elizabeth grew up in Weymouth\, Massachusetts\, the close-knit daughters of a minister and his wife. When the sisters moved away from one another\, they relied on near-constant letters—from what John Adams called their “elegant pen”—to buoy them through pregnancies\, illnesses\, grief\, political upheaval\, and\, for Abigail\, life in the White House. Infusing her writing with rich historical perspective and detail\, Jacobs offers fascinating insight into these progressive women’s lives: oldest sister Mary\, who became de facto mayor of her small village; youngest sister Betsy\, an aspiring writer who\, along with her husband\, founded the second coeducational school in the United States; and middle child Abigail\, who years before becoming First Lady ran the family farm while her husband served in the Continental Congress\, first in Philadelphia\, and was then sent to France and England\, where she joined him at last. \nThis engaging narrative traces the sisters’ lives from their childhood sibling rivalries to their eyewitness roles during the American Revolution and their adulthood as outspoken wives and mothers. They were women ahead of their time who believed in intellectual and educational equality between the sexes. Drawing from newly discovered correspondence\, never-before-published diaries\, and archival research\, Dear Abigail is a fascinating front-row seat to history—and to the lives of three exceptional women who were influential during a time when our nation’s democracy was just taking hold.
