SUMMARY:William Miller reads from his book Steel City
DESCRIPTION:*PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT IS CO-SPONSORED BY CARNEGIE HILL NEIGHBORS AND WILL HAPPEN OFFSITE AT WETHERBY-PEMBRIDGE SCHOOL 7 EAST 96th STREET* \nRSVP to: events@chneighbors.org \nSteel City is the story of the 1890’s golden age of Pittsburgh when its technological innovations and wealth creation made it the Silicon Valley of its day. Pittsburgh was first in steel\, food processing and electricity\, and the leaders of those industries – Carnegie\, Frick\, Heinz and Westinghouse -are names we still know today. Amid this fevered atmosphere Jamie Dalton\, a recent Yale graduate and son of a corporate lawyer\, must decide whether to accede to his father’s wishes and pursue a career in law or the steel business\, or follow his own instincts and become a newspaperman. The greatest natural disaster of the 19th century\, the Johnstown Flood\, confirms his choice to be a journalist\, and Jamie goes on to cover Pittsburgh’s business titans\, labor strikes and assassination attempts. While reporting on the unions of the era\, he is exposed to a very different world\, symbolized by his infatuation with a mysterious woman under the sway of an Eastern European anarchist. Jamie struggles with balancing the access he has to Pittsburgh’s business elite while maintaining the objectivity to tell the hard truths about those same people. Ultimately\, he must thwart a terrorist plot that could disrupt the massive corporate merger that would restructure the nation’s largest industry: steel.

SUMMARY:Sabeeha Rehman reads from her new book It's Not What You Think
DESCRIPTION:It’s Not What You Think is a wry\, incisive account of working in Saudi Arabia that offers insight into that insular patriarchal society\, what is so attractive to expatriates living there\, and what was contradictory or confining about it for a naturalized American who is a woman and a Muslim. A hospital executive in New Jersey\, Sabeeha relocated with her oncologist husband to Riyadh\, the most conservative city in the country\, intending to remain two years. They ended up staying for six. Her book takes the reader on a journey of discovery that mirrors her own.

SUMMARY:Christin Brecher launches her new book Photo Finished
DESCRIPTION:While some people escape into books or music\, Liv Spyers escapes through her camera’s lens\, which inspires her to jump into things she might otherwise have no business tackling—like moving to New York City. Hustling to make her dreams come true as a portrait photographer\, she runs a pocket-sized studio below her grandparents’ West Village brownstone and key shop\, where she also lives and works part-time. All of which still has her down to the end of her savings as the holidays approach. Everything changes in a flash\, however\, when elite events photographer\, Regina Montague\, invites Liv to shoot with her at New York City’s most exclusive socialite event of the year—the Holiday Debutante Ball! Liv snaps at the opportunity\, convinced that a job with Regina will launch her career. But when her fabulous new gig ends with the murder of billionaire Charlie Archibald\, her dream job may never develop with Regina framed for murder. Once Liv begins to focus on her photos from the ball\, she’s convinced they reveal Charlie Archibald’s real killer. Now\, between cracking the world of high society—and the attentions of a handsome stranger—Liv must hustle once again to expose the killer…before she gets cropped from the picture!

SUMMARY:Caroline Coleman launches her debut If I Were A Tiger
DESCRIPTION:Meet Tim Bone. He has a big imagination\, and when it roams wild\, he’s afraid of a lot of things. He’s scared of the moon and the wailing typhoon\, and he won’t wear his sneakers because he fears hidden creatures. Tim’s nervous at home\, at school\, and at play! \nFed up with being frightened\, Tim comes up with a bold solution: He’s going to become a tiger so he can be fiercer than his fears! There’s just one problem: If he’s a tiger\, he can’t be Tim. Could there be a better solution? What if Tim puts his trust in God—who made both boys and tigers—instead? \nIf I Were a Tiger invites kids of all ages to live in the comforting truth that no one has to carry their fears alone\, and offers the reminder that God is only a prayer away.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the publication of I Love (ish) New York with author Ali Solomon
