SUMMARY:Corie Adjmi launches her new book The Marriage Box
DESCRIPTION:Casey Cohen\, a Middle Eastern Jew\, is a sixteen-year-old in New Orleans in the 1970s when she starts hanging out with the wrong crowd. Then she gets in trouble–and her parents turn her whole world upside down by deciding to return to their roots\, the Orthodox Syrian Jewish community in Brooklyn. \nIn this new and foreign world\, men pray daily\, thanking God they’re not women; parties are extravagant events at the Museum of Natural History; and the Marriage Box is a real place\, a pool deck designated for teenage girls to put themselves on display for potential husbands. Casey is at first appalled by this unfamiliar culture\, but after she meets Michael\, she’s enticed by it. Looking for love and a place to belong\, she marries him at eighteen\, believing she can adjust to Syrian ways. But she begins to question her decision when she discovers that Michael doesn’t want her to go to college–he wants her to have a baby instead. \nCan Casey integrate these two opposing worlds\, or will she have to leave one behind in order to find her way?

SUMMARY:Lindsay Cameron discusses her latest thriller No One Needs to Know
DESCRIPTION:UrbanMyth: It was lauded as an alternative to the performative\, show-your-best-self platforms—an anonymous discussion board grouped by zip code. The residents of Manhattan’s exclusive Upper East Side disclosed it all\, things they would never share with their friends or their spouses: secret bank accounts\, steamy affairs\, tidbits of juicy gossip. The same people who\, as parents\, go to astonishing lengths to ensure that their children gain admission to the most prestigious boarding schools and universities. So when a “hacktivist” group breaks into the forum and exposes the real identity of each poster\, the repercussions echo down Park Avenue with a force that none could have anticipated. \nAnd someone ends up dead. \nIs the murderer Heather\, the outsider who would do anything to get her daughter into the elite’s good graces and into their even better schools? Norah\, the high-powered executive failing to balance work with the emotional responsibilities of motherhood? Or Poppy\, whose perfect-on-the-outside façade conceals more than her share of secrets?\nEach of them has something to hide.\nEach of them will do anything to keep secrets hidden.\nAnd each of them just might kill to protect their own. \nLindsay Cameron will be in discussion with author Andrea Bartz\, author of The Herd\, The Lost Night and the forthcoming The Spare Room

SUMMARY:Kate White reads from her latest Between Two Strangers
DESCRIPTION:Struggling artist Skyler Moore is flabbergasted when she receives a suspicious phone call from a lawyer she’s never met regarding a “private matter.” As soon as she arrives at the law firm’s office\, she learns she’s the recipient of a large inheritance\, a life-changing sum that will allow her to realize her long-held dream of becoming a mother. But who was her benefactor\, Christopher Whaley? The late man’s name means nothing to Skyler\, and she has no idea why he would leave her such an enormous bequest. \nLooking into his background\, Skyler finally realizes they met once at a hotel bar and shared a one-night stand. But they never exchanged numbers\, or even last names\, and that was over a decade ago. She wonders if the inheritance is meant to be a message of some kind\, but can’t imagine what it might be. \nChris’ family is confused and suspicious too\, and his widow accuses Skyler of having an affair with her late husband\, then threatens revenge. In order to protect herself\, Skyler has to understand the reason the money was left to her. But as she digs for the truth\, it becomes clear that Chris Whaley might have taken other secrets to the grave\, ones that could have terrifying consequences for her . . .

SUMMARY:Brooke Kroeger reads from her new book Undaunted: How Women Changed Journalism
DESCRIPTION:Undaunted is a representative history of the American women who surmounted every impediment put in their way to do journalism’s most valued work. From Margaret Fuller’s improbable success to the highly paid reporters of the mid-nineteenth century to the breakthrough investigative triumphs of Nellie Bly\, Ida Tarbell\, and Ida B. Wells\, Brooke Kroeger examines the lives of the best-remembered and long-forgotten woman journalists. She explores the careers of standout woman reporters who covered the major news stories and every conflict at home and abroad since before the Civil War\, and she celebrates those exceptional careers up to the present\, including those of Martha Gellhorn\, Rachel Carson\, Janet Malcolm\, Joan Didion\, Cokie Roberts\, and Charlayne Hunter-Gault. As Kroeger chronicles the lives of journalists and newsroom leaders in every medium\, a larger story develops: the nearly two-centuries-old struggle for women’s rights. Here as well is the collective fight for equity from the gentle stirrings of the late 1800s through the legal battles of the 1970s to the #MeToo movement and today’s racial and gender disparities. Undaunted unveils the huge and singular impact women have had on a vital profession still dominated by men.

SUMMARY:Hannah Wunsch discusses her debut The Autumn Ghost
DESCRIPTION:Americans knew polio as the “summer plague.” In countries further North\, however\, the virus arrived later in the year\, slipping into the homes of healthy children as the summer waned and the equinox approached. It was described by one writer as “the autumn ghost.” \nIntensive care units and mechanical ventilation are the crucial foundation of modern medical care: without them\, the appalling death toll of the COVID-19 pandemic would be even higher. In The Autumn Ghost\, Dr. Hannah Wunsch traces the origins of these two innovations back to a polio epidemic in the autumn of 1952. Drawing together compelling testimony from doctors\, nurses\, medical students\, and patients\, Wunsch relates a gripping tale of an epidemic that changed the world. \nIn vivid\, captivating chapters\, Wunsch tells the dramatic true story of how insiders and iconoclasts came together in one overwhelmed hospital in Copenhagen to save the lives of many polio patients dying of respiratory failure. Their radical advances in care marked a turning point in the treatment of patients around the world–from the rise of life support and the creation of intensive care units to the evolution of rehabilitation medicine.
