SUMMARY:Sabeeha Rehman reads from her debut Threading My Prayer Rug
DESCRIPTION:Threading My Prayer Rug is a richly textured reflection on what it is to be a Muslim in America today. It is also the luminous story of many journeys: from Pakistan to the United States in an arranged marriage that becomes a love match lasting forty years; from secular Muslim in an Islamic society to devout Muslim in a society ignorant of Islam\, and from liberal to conservative to American Muslim; from student to bride and mother; and from an immigrant intending to stay two years to an American citizen\, business executive\, grandmother\, and tireless advocate for interfaith understanding. \nBeginning with a sweetly funny\, moving account of her arranged marriage\, the author undercuts stereotypes and offers the refreshing view of an American life through Muslim eyes. In chapters leavened with humor\, hope\, and insight\, she recounts an immigrant’s daily struggles balancing assimilation with preserving heritage\, overcoming religious barriers from within and distortions of Islam from without\, and confronting issues of raising her children as Muslims—while they lobby for a Christmas tree! Sabeeha Rehman was doing interfaith work for Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf\, the driving force behind the Muslim community center at Ground Zero\, when the backlash began. She discusses what that experience revealed about American society.

SUMMARY:Jane Rosen launches Nine Women\, One Dress
DESCRIPTION:A charming\, hilarious\, irresistible romp of a novel that brings together nine unrelated women\, each touched by the same little black dress that weaves through their lives\, bringing a little magic with it. Natalie is a Bloomingdale’s salesgirl mooning over her lawyer ex-boyfriend who’s engaged to someone else after just two months. Felicia has been quietly in love with her boss for seventeen years and has one night to finally make the feeling mutual. Andie is a private detective who specializes in gathering evidence on cheating husbands—a skill she unfortunately learned from her own life—and lands a case that may restore her faith in true love. For these three women\, as well as half a dozen others in sparkling supporting roles—a young model fresh from rural Alabama\, a diva Hollywood star making her Broadway debut\, an overachieving\, unemployed Brown grad who starts faking a fabulous life on social media\, to name just a few—everything is about to change\, thanks to the dress of the season\, the perfect little black number everyone wants to get their hands on . . .

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Birkelund reads from her latest novel The Runaway Wife
DESCRIPTION:Recently fired from his high-power finance job and dumped by his fiancée\, Jim Olsen has come to the Swiss Alps to clear his head. At the charming Cabane des Audannes\, he meets Clio\, Thalia and Helene Castellane\, who are on a quest of their own: their mother\, Calliope\, has fled to these mountains to escape her philandering politician husband’s most recent scandal. As snow threatens to descend upon the Alps\, the women have come to bring their mother home. But the sisters are at the point of surrender; it is time for them to return to Paris. Buoyed by wine and inspired by their beauty\, Jim impetuously volunteers to assume their search\, but soon realizes that he is in over his head. The Alps are filled with beauty and danger\, not the least of which is Calliope’s desire to stay hidden. And all the while Jim finds himself haunted by the memory of her daughters and conflicted in his desire for them.
