SUMMARY:Willie Mae Brown reads from her debut My Selma
DESCRIPTION:As the civil rights movement and the fight for voter rights unfold in Selma\, Alabama\, many things happen inside and outside the Brown family’s home that do not have anything to do with the landmark 1965 march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Yet the famous outrages which unfold on that span form an inescapable backdrop in this collection of stories. In one\, Willie Mae takes it upon herself to offer summer babysitting services to a glamorous single white mother—a secret she keeps from her parents that unravels with shocking results. In another\, Willie Mae reluctantly joins her mother at a church rally\, and is forever changed after hearing Martin Luther King Jr. deliver a defiant speech in spite of a court injunction. Infused with the vernacular of her Southern upbringing\, My Selma captures the voice and vision of a fascinating young person—perspicacious\, impetuous\, resourceful\, and even mystical in her ways of seeing the world around her—who gifts us with a loving portrayal of her hometown while also delivering a no-holds-barred indictment of the time and place.

SUMMARY:Elinor Lipman reads from her latest novel Ms. Demeanor
DESCRIPTION:Ms. Demeanor\nA Novel \nElinor Lipman \nHardcover \nList Price: 27.99*\n* Individual store prices may vary.\n\nJane Morgan is a valued member of her law firm—or was\, until a prudish neighbor\, binoculars poised\, observes her having sex on the roof of her NYC apartment building.  Police are summoned\, and a punishing judge sentences her to six months of home confinement. With Jane now jobless and rootless\, trapped at home\, life looks bleak. Yes\, her twin sister provides support and advice\, but mostly of the unwelcome kind. When a doorman lets slip that Jane isn’t the only resident wearing an ankle monitor\, she strikes up a friendship with fellow white-collar felon Perry Salisbury. As she tries to adapt to life within her apartment walls\, she discovers she hasn’t heard the end of that tattletale neighbor—whose past isn’t as decorous as her 9-1-1 snitching would suggest. Why are police knocking on Jane’s door again? Can her house arrest have a silver lining? Can two wrongs make a right? In the hands of “an inspired alchemist who converts serious subject into humor” (New York Times Book Review)—yes\, delightfully.
