SUMMARY:Author Talk: Rosie McMahan - Fortunate Daughter: A Memoir of Reconciliation
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning author Rosie McMahan will visit Wilton Library to talk about her book Fortunate Daughter: A Memoir of Reconciliation. Though the book begins as an all-too-common story of childhood sexual abuse\, it gradually becomes a rare story of how one person heals from that early trauma. In this intimate first-person narrative\, McMahan offers the reader a portrait of misery\, abuse\, and hurt\, followed by the difficult and painful task of healing.  It’s a journey that\, in the end\, reveals the complicated and nuanced venture of true reconciliation and the freedom that comes along with it. Fortunate Daughter: A Memoir of Reconciliation is a first prize winner in the 2021 Chanticleer International Journey Book Awards. \nFirst\, a daughter\, sister\, wife\, and mother\, McMahan identifies as an irreverent and opinionated white cisgendered woman\, who is also a survivor\, a feminist\, writer\, educator\, counselor\, attending Quaker\, community activist\, and avid botanical enthusiast. Her poetry has been published in several journals. She works at MA Mentoring Partnership and owns and operates Optimistic Options\, a private practice rooted in trauma informed care and restorative justice principles. Learn more about her book and listen to her podcast at Heart2Heart. \nApril is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The media sponsor of Wilton Library author talks is GOOD Morning Wilton. \nRegistration is required. Register on the Wilton Library website. \n

SUMMARY:Mark Schenker - “We Too Are Here”: 100 Years of Great American Novels by Women [Zoom]
DESCRIPTION:Mark Schenker will take a reset in his ongoing lecture series at Wilton Library on major American novels of the 20th century\, which reached the late 1950s last fall. For this spring and summer\, he will present two connected four-part series on eight American novels\, all by critically acclaimed woman novelists. These series will be offered via Zoom with a bonus: the fourth and eighth sessions will be in-person in the Brubeck Room (as well as on Zoom) with a short reception after the lecture to chat with Schenker and each other. \nThe titles span a full century and bring in considerations of race and ethnicity (African-American\, Jewish-American\, Native-American)\, and of immigration (from China\, Central Europe\, Mexico). The settings of these stories represent a striking array of American cities\, states\, and regions. \nTaken together\, these works of fiction invite you to think critically about the limitations of the idea of The Great American Novel and to embrace the broadest meaning of the word pluribus (“many”) in the traditional American motto: E Pluribus Unum. \nAttendees are not expected to read or reread all or even any of the novels\, but a familiarity with them will of course make the lectures more meaningful. \nSpring series:\nApril 12 – My Antonia\, Willa Cather\nApril 19 – Wise Blood\, Flannery O’Connor\nMay 3 – The Woman Warrior\, Maxine Hong Kingston\nMay 10 – Song of Solomon\, Toni Morrison. \nJune series:\nJune 8 – Housekeeping\, Marilynne Robinson\nJune 15 – The House on Mango Street\, Sandra Cisneros\nJune 22 – The Shawl\, Cynthia Ozick\nJune 29 – The Night Watchman\, Louise Erdrich \nRegistration is required. Register on the Wilton Library website or call 203.762.6334. As convenience\, you will automatically be registered for all eight sessions. For more information\, contact Michael Bellacosa.

SUMMARY:Mark Schenker - “We Too Are Here”: 100 Years of Great American Novels by Women [Zoom]
DESCRIPTION:Mark Schenker will take a reset in his ongoing lecture series at Wilton Library on major American novels of the 20th century\, which reached the late 1950s last fall. For this spring and summer\, he will present two connected four-part series on eight American novels\, all by critically acclaimed woman novelists. These series will be offered via Zoom with a bonus: the fourth and eighth sessions will be in-person in the Brubeck Room (as well as on Zoom) with a short reception after the lecture to chat with Schenker and each other. \nThe titles span a full century and bring in considerations of race and ethnicity (African-American\, Jewish-American\, Native-American)\, and of immigration (from China\, Central Europe\, Mexico). The settings of these stories represent a striking array of American cities\, states\, and regions. \nTaken together\, these works of fiction invite you to think critically about the limitations of the idea of The Great American Novel and to embrace the broadest meaning of the word pluribus (“many”) in the traditional American motto: E Pluribus Unum. \nAttendees are not expected to read or reread all or even any of the novels\, but a familiarity with them will of course make the lectures more meaningful. \nSpring series:\nApril 12 – My Antonia\, Willa Cather\nApril 19 – Wise Blood\, Flannery O’Connor\nMay 3 – The Woman Warrior\, Maxine Hong Kingston\nMay 10 – Song of Solomon\, Toni Morrison. \nJune series:\nJune 8 – Housekeeping\, Marilynne Robinson\nJune 15 – The House on Mango Street\, Sandra Cisneros\nJune 22 – The Shawl\, Cynthia Ozick\nJune 29 – The Night Watchman\, Louise Erdrich \nRegistration is required. Register on the Wilton Library website or call 203.762.6334. As convenience\, you will automatically be registered for all eight sessions. For more information\, contact Michael Bellacosa.

DESCRIPTION:Professional book discussion leader Susan Boyar discusses Tomorrow\, and Tomorrow\, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin this month. \nFrom the New York Times best-selling author of The Storied Life of A.J.

Feel free to bring your lunch and a beverage. \nAdvance registration is suggested. Register on the Wilton Library website.

Why have mysteries and thrillers endured for centuries? And why are today’s bestseller lists populated by so many of them? \nDr. Rubinstein’s high-octane thrillers Mad Dog House and its sequel Mad Dog Justice were both finalists for the Foreward Book of the Year Award. The Lovers’ Tango won the gold medal in Popular Fiction at the Benjamin Franklin Awards.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Stephanie Kramer - Carry Strong: An Empowered Approach to Navigating Pregnancy and Work
DESCRIPTION:Stephanie Kramer is the author of Carry Strong: An Empowered Approach to Navigating Pregnancy and Work. This ‘labor’ or love was written over three years late at night and during her children’s naps because of her desire to create a groundswell of support. With original research and hundreds of inspiring interviews\, she does just that— sharing five powerful principles to find perspective\, create your balance\, cultivate community\, communicate your needs\, and embrace your shift in identity throughout each phase of pregnancy\, starting with the moment you decide you want to become a working mom-to-be. In Carry Strong\, Kramer flips the script. This isn’t about powering through pregnancy at work. It’s about being powerful and pregnant at work. \nKramer is a tenured beauty industry executive today serving as the Chief Human Resources Officer of L’Oréal USA in New York City and an adjunct professor of management communication in the graduate business program at the Fashion Institute of Technology. She is the proud mother of two young children and deeply believes that you can do it all\, not at the same time\, and absolutely not alone. \nThis author talk is co-sponsored by the Wilton Woman’s Club. \nElm Street Books will be selling copies after the talk. A portion of the proceeds goes to Wilton Library. \nThe media sponsor of our author talks is GOOD Morning Wilton. \nRegistration is required. Register on the Wilton Library’s website or call 203.762.6350.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Allison Montclair - The Lady from Burma
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an author talk at Wilton Library. \nIn Allison Montclair’s The Lady from Burma\, murder once again stalks the proprietors of The Right Sort Marriage Bureau in the surprisingly dangerous landscape of post-World War II London. \nIn the immediate post-war days of London\, two unlikely partners have undertaken an even more unlikely\, if necessary\, business venture – The Right Sort Marriage Bureau. The two partners are Miss Iris Sparks\, a woman with a dangerous – and never discussed – past in British intelligence and Mrs. Gwendolyn Bainbridge\, a war widow with a young son entangled in a complicated aristocratic family. Mostly their clients are people trying to start (or restart) their lives in this much-changed world\, but their new client is something different. A happily married woman has come to them to find a new wife for her husband. Dying of cancer\, she wants the two to make sure her entomologist\, academic husband finds someone new once she passes. \nShortly thereafter\, she’s found dead in Epping Forest\, in what appears to be a suicide. But that doesn’t make sense to either Sparks or Bainbridge. At the same time\, Bainbridge is attempting to regain legal control of her life\, opposed by the conservator who has been managing her assets – perhaps not always in her best interest. When that conservator is found dead\, Bainbridge herself is one of the prime suspects. Attempting to make sense of two deaths at once\, to protect themselves and their clients\, the redoubtable owners of the Right Sort Marriage Bureau are once again on the case. \nAllison Montclair (a pseudonym for Alan Gordon) grew up devouring hand-me-down Agatha Christie paperbacks and James Bond movies. As a result of this deplorable upbringing\, Montclair became addicted to tales of crime\, intrigue\, and espionage. Montclair is the author of the award-winning Sparks & Bainbridge historical mystery series\, which begins with The Right Sort of Man. \nElm Street Books will be selling copies after the talk. A portion of the proceeds goes to Wilton Library. \nThe media sponsor of our author talks is GOOD Morning Wilton. \nRegistration is required. Register on the Wilton Library’s website.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Deborah Kasdan - "Roll Back the World: A Sister's Memoir"
DESCRIPTION:When Deborah Kasdan’s sister returns from a gap year in Israel she seems to glow with health and beauty. Three years later she is diagnosed with schizophrenia. Roll Back the World is a heartbreaking story of love\, grief\, and guilt — and a testament to the enduring bonds of siblings in the face of ineffective psychiatric treatment spanning decades. \nIn clear and vivid prose\, and with the help of Rachel’s letters and poetry\, Kasdan provides a poignant look at a mid-century Jewish family under strain; offers a moving account of Rachel’s indomitable spirit; and explores family history from the WWII years and the Cold War\, trying to make sense of what happened. \nAs the years pass\, Kasdan focuses on her own family and career but constantly feels shadowed by a sense of guilt\, which is compounded when she and her other two siblings make a bold attempt to help Rachel—a plan that fails. Only after a mental health worker asks Rachel to write a poem does she finally gain her freedom. To Kasdan’s great joy\, Rachel finds acceptance\, despite her disabilities\, in a compassionate community\, including a synagogue where she returns to the religion of her youth. \nKasdan will be in conversation with professional book discussion leader Susan Boyar. \nWhen Kasdan retired from a thirty-five-year career writing about business and technology\, she joined Westport Writers Workshop to make her personal stories come alive. She has served on the board of directors of an intergenerational housing organization and the National Organization on Mental Illness (NAMI) for Southwest CT. She lives in Norwalk. \nRegistration is required. Register on the Wilton Library website. \nElm Street Books will be selling copies after the talk. A portion of the proceeds goes to Wilton Library. \nThis event is co-sponsored by NAMI Southwest CT. \nThe media sponsor of our author talks is GOOD Morning Wilton.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Rob Copeland
DESCRIPTION:Please join Wilton Library for a special Author Talk program as award-winning New York Times finance writer Rob Copeland talks about his brand new book The Fund: Ray Dalio\, Bridgewater Associates\, and the Unraveling of a Wall Street Legend. \nLate last year\, when the billionaire founder of Bridgewater Associates\, the largest hedge fund on the planet\, announced that he was stepping down from the company he started out of his apartment nearly 50 years ago\, the news made headlines around the world. Ray Dalio cultivated an aura of international admiration and fame thanks to his company’s eye-popping success\, coupled with a mystique he encouraged with frequent media appearances\, celebrity hobnobbing\, and his bestselling book\, Principles. In The Fund\, award-winning New York Times journalist Rob Copeland punctures this carefully-constructed narrative of the benevolent business titan\, exposing his much-promoted “principles” as a phenomenal illusion\, and one of the great feats of hubris in modern memory. These so-called principles endowed upon Dalio the authority to opine on life’s great meanings\, which in turn helped transform him into a self-help guru for millions\, as money continued to flow into his hedge fund. \nThe Fund is a page-turning\, stranger-than-fiction journey into a rarefied world of wealth and power. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with those inside and around the firm\, Copeland takes readers into the room as former FBI director Jim Comey kisses Dalio’s ring\, recent Pennsylvania Senate candidate David McCormick drinks the Kool-Aid\, and a rotating cast of memorable characters grapple with their personal psychological and moral limits – all under the watchful eye of their charismatic leader. \nRob Copeland is a finance reporter for The New York Times. His front-page investigations into Bridgewater Associates won a New York Press Club award. \nThe media sponsor of our author talks is GOOD Morning Wilton. \nRegistration is required.
