SUMMARY:Susan Shapiro Barash in conversation about her new book  Estranged
DESCRIPTION:When life gets hard\, we turn to our female friends. Husbands\, partners\, and jobs come and go\, but close friendships are our bedrock. Until they’re not. \nWhat happens when these bonds sabotage instead of support? Who among us has the courage to walk away? And how can we protect ourselves from further heartbreak? \nIn her provocative new book\, Estranged: How Strained Female Friendships are Mended or Ended (Meridian Editions; April 1\, 2025)\, Susan Shapiro Barash takes a deep dive into the complexities of female friendships. By peeling back the societal narrative that our friendships are meant to last forever\, she uncovers a more nuanced reality: the closest bonds do falter. Through groundbreaking research and 150 interviews with women ranging in age from 20-80\, Barash reveals an emerging trend — estrangement among female friends. \nEstranged is an eye-opening investigation/practical guide for women navigating murky waters of suboptimal friendships. The book sheds light on unspoken pain of estrangement—both for the “estranger” who walks away and the “estrangee” who is left behind. Amid candid confessions of betrayal and grief\, Barash challenges women to reimagine their friendships and take the bold step of letting go when necessary. \nSusan will be in conversation with Meryl Moss\, President of Meryl Moss Media Group and Founder of BookTrib.com

SUMMARY:Lisa Greenwald signs copies of her new book The Summer of the Fortune Tellers
DESCRIPTION:Is the magic really back? \nWhen Mille\, Nora\, and Bea found fortune tellers popping up in unexpected places—with eerily accurate fortunes—they reunited as best friends. Now that they’re back to being besties\, they’re excited to spend the summer together outside the city. Recruited into babysitting eight-year-old triplets and staying with Millie’s family\, the girls are hoping this will be their own private summer camp\, one where they’re in charge\, away from annoying siblings and toxic frenemies. \nBut nothing perfect can last. When everything from homesickness and boy craziness to real estate developers threaten their summer\, Millie\, Nora\, and Bea start stumbling upon fortune tellers in the strangest places. And once again it feels like these fortune tellers are speaking to them: Sometimes in life you just have to jump in. Speak your mind and stand up for what you believe in! You are here for a reason. If they speak up\, can Millie\, Nora\, and Bea really save the summer—and the community—before it’s too late?

SUMMARY:Jill Bialosky in conversation about her new book  The End is the Beginning
DESCRIPTION:When Iris Yvonne Bialosky died in an assisted care facility on March 29\, 2020\, it unleashed a torrent of emotions in her daughter\, Jill Bialosky. Grief\, of course\, but also guilt\, confusion\, and doubt\, all of which were compounded by the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic which made it impossible for Jill to be with her mother as she was dying and to attend her mother’s funeral. \nNow\, with a poet’s eye for detail and a novelist’s flair for storytelling\, Jill presents a profoundly moving elegy unlike any other. Starting with her mother’s end and the physical/cognitive decline that led her to a care home\, The End Is the Beginning explores Iris’s battle with depression\, the tragedy of a daughter’s suicide\, a failed second marriage\, the death of her beloved first husband only five years into their young marriage\, her joyful teenage years\, and the trauma of losing her own mother at just eight years old. Compounding her challenges of raising four daughters without a livelihood or partner\, Iris’s life coincided with an age of unstoppable social change and reinvention\, when the roles of wife and mother she was raised to inhabit ceased to be the guarantors of stability and happiness. \n  \nJill Bialosky will be in conversation with Roxana Robinson\, author–most recently– of Leaving

SUMMARY:Amy Larocca launches her How to Be Well
DESCRIPTION:Peloton. Pilates. Biohacking. Colonics. Ashwagandha. Today\, the wellness industry is a $3.7 trillion behemoth that touches us all. In this timely and clear-eyed book\, journalist Amy Larocca peels back the layers behind the wellness movement and reckons with its promises and profits. How did we get here and how did the idea of wellness become integrated with women’s lives? And how did we end up spending so much money on products that may not work at all? \nAmy Larocca takes readers into the communities that swear by their activated charcoal toothpaste and green juice enemas\, explaining what each of these practices really is—and what the science says. Larocca holds a magnifying glass to alternative medicine and nouveau lifestyle prescriptions — and tries a lot herself along the way — ultimately delivering an assessment of how the wellness industry embodies our (gendered\, class-based\, racialized) perceptions of care and self-improvement\, and how it preys on our unshakable fear of the unknown. She traces the history of how the beauty and fashion industries have peddled snake oil to women for decades—and why we keep coming back for more.
