SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: NEW DATE! - Gayle Forman\, in conversation with Lauren Oliver\, discusses & signs After Life
DESCRIPTION:One spring afternoon after school\, Amber arrives home on her bike. It’s just another perfectly normal day. But when Amber’s mom sees her\, she screams. \nBecause Amber died seven years ago\, hit by a car while on the very same bicycle she’s inexplicably riding now. \nThis return doesn’t only impact Amber. Her sister\, Melissa\, now seven years older\, must be a new kind of sibling to Amber. Amber’s estranged parents are battling over her. And the changes ripple farther and farther out: Amber’s friends\, boyfriend\, and even people she met only once have been deeply affected by her life and death. In the midst of everyone’s turmoil\, Amber is struggling with herself. What kind of person was she? How and why was she given this second chance? \nThis magnificent tour de force by acclaimed author Gayle Forman brilliantly explores the porous veil between life and death\, examines the impact that one person can have on the world\, and celebrates life in all its beautiful complexity.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Bridget Morrissey discusses Anywhere You Go
DESCRIPTION:A small-town waitress and a big-city Broadway press agent swap homes to escape the messiness of their personal lives\, only to find new purpose–and new love. \nTatum Ward and Eleanor Chapman lead totally opposite lives. Tatum’s never left her Midwestern hometown. She resides in a quaint guest cottage on her parents’ property while working part-time as a waitress\, where she spends most shifts ignoring her feelings for a beautiful regular named June. Eleanor dedicates every waking hour to her high-profile press career\, sacrificing personal relationships for professional success\, save for the occasional hookup to fight off her loneliness. When both women’s lives unexpectedly blow up at the exact same time\, they each need an escape\, and fast. \nIn Tatum’s hometown\, Eleanor expects a quiet hideaway where she can recharge. Instead she gets wrapped up in the family drama that Tatum left town to avoid\, pulled in by Tatum’s charismatic older sibling\, Carson\, who charms Eleanor at every turn. Tatum ends up in Eleanor’s New York high-rise apartment with June. One week together in the big city might make it impossible for Tatum to avoid not just her true feelings for June\, but her real dreams for her life. \nAmid a friendship with a reclusive Hollywood actress and a complicated family reunion\, Tatum and Eleanor each discover much more than they bargained for away from home. Their house swap won’t last forever\, but it might be just long enough for both women to surrender their defenses and finally fight for the life–and love–they deserve.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Kobina Commeh reads from & signs Kwesi & Nana Ruby Learn to Swim
DESCRIPTION:“A wonderful story to show how it is possible to overcome our fears of doing something new by accepting help from others” — School Library Journal\, starred review \nKwesi doesn’t know how to swim… and discovers his grandmother doesn’t either! Can they conquer their fear of water together with the help of the West African legend Mami Wata? \n“How about we make a deal?” Nana rubbed Kwesi’s head. “I will learn to swim\, if you do.” \n“Deal!” \nKwesi likes spending time at the lake with his friends\, except there’s one tiny problem… he can’t swim. But guess what? Neither can Nana Ruby! When she comes over for dinner one night\, she tells Kwesi about when she moved from Ghana to the US and the history of segregation that kept her out of pools and caused a fear of water among many Black people. \n“So I will never learn how to swim?” Kwesi asks. But Nana Ruby tells him they will call on the strength of Mami Wata\, the sea creature of West African legend\, to conquer their fears together. This touching intergenerational story teaches the importance of naming\, acknowledging and facing fears.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Chris Santiago reads from and signs Small Wars Manual: Poems
DESCRIPTION:“Small Wars Manual is a masterpiece\, one of those books I read and know at once I’ll be coming back to the rest of my life.”–Kaveh Akbar\, author of Martyr! \nFrom award-winning poet Chris Santiago\, a far-reaching collection of erasures and original poems examining the long shadow of American militarism and imperialism. \nStemming in part from a disturbingly mundane military document of the same name\, Small Wars Manual is a how-to for imperialism that critically dismantles itself with each passing line\, “a pidgin // containing elements // of animus and // insubordination.” In its wake\, the very boundaries of oppression and resistance\, art and justice\, and power and truth exploded. \nHighly conceptual yet gut-wrenching\, this meticulous and visionary masterpiece of erasure poetry and other forms sinks into the cold mechanics of American warfare in the Philippines and Vietnam to reveal a brutal rhetoric. In more autobiographical sections\, Chris Santiago’s own Filipino immigrant background reveals hard-lived experiences\, where “stars can guide // either bayonets // or refugees” and “even small wars waged // on the living room floor” cause trepidation and harm. \nThis righteous collection redeems the vulnerable from the aggressors–empire\, army\, their systems and tools–and transforms everything in the process. In the hands of Santiago\, the deconstructive becomes the eviscerating\, condemning all wars that upend countries and mark generations. Here are shining poems that make shelter of chaos\, by one of the most skillful and intrepid poets writing today.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Mariah Blake discusses & signs They Poisoned the World: Life and Death in the Age of Forever Chemicals
DESCRIPTION:A landmark investigation of the chemical industry’s decades-long campaign to hide the dangers of forever chemicals\, told through the story of a small town on the frontlines of an epic public health crisis \nIn 2014\, after losing several friends and relatives to cancer\, an unassuming insurance underwriter in Hoosick Falls\, New York\, began to suspect that the local water supply was polluted. When he tested his tap water\, he discovered dangerous levels of forever chemicals. This set off a chain of events that led to 100 million Americans learning their drinking water was tainted. Although the discovery came as a shock to most\, the U.S. government and the manufacturers of these toxic chemicals–used in everything from lipstick and cookware to children’s clothing–had known about their hazards for decades. \nIn They Poisoned the World\, investigative journalist Mariah Blake tells the astonishing story of this cover-up\, tracing its roots back to the Manhattan Project and through the postwar years\, as industry scientists discovered that these chemicals refused to break down and were saturating the blood of virtually every human being. By the 1980s\, manufacturers were secretly testing their workers and finding links to birth defects\, cancer\, and other serious diseases. At every step\, the industry’s deceptions were aided by our government’s appallingly lax regulatory system–a system that has made us all guinea pigs in a vast\, uncontrolled chemistry experiment. \nDrawing on years of on-the-ground reporting and tens of thousands of documents\, Blake interweaves the secret history of forever chemicals with the moving story of how a lone village took on the chemical giants–and won. From the beloved local doctor to the young mother who took her fight all the way to the nation’s capital\, citizen activists in Hoosick Falls and beyond have ignited the most powerful grassroots environmental movement since Silent Spring. \nHumane and revelatory\, this book will provoke outrage–and hopefully inspire the change we need to protect the health of every American for generations to come. \nMariah Blake is an investigative journalist whose writing has appeared in The Atlantic\, Mother Jones\, The New Republic\, and other publications. She was a Murrey Marder Nieman Fellow in Watchdog Journalism at Harvard University.

SUMMARY:Pasadena Playhouse: A Doll's House Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Nora’s back—15 years after walking out on her family—is ready to confront the fallout of her iconic escape. Bold\, satisfying\, and packed with razor-sharp twists\, Lucas Hnath’s Tony-nominated play dives into the messy reality of what it means to be a woman living on your terms. It’s complicated. It’s witty. And it’s happening at Pasadena Playhouse. Get your tickets for A Doll’s House\, Part 2\, and don’t miss this audacious sequel 146 years after Ibsen’s classic. \n“WAIT\, I DON’T THINK I SAW A DOLL’S HOUSE\, PART 1…” \nA Doll’s House\, Part 2 (2017) is a “sequel” to one of the most influential plays in the history of theater – Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House (1879). The good news is that you do not need to have seen the original to enjoy Part 2. All you need to know is that at the end of Ibsen’s play\, Nora\, a mother and wife\, walks out on her husband and three young children. Slamming the door behind her—a moment frequently referred to as the slam heard around the world—she made a dramatic exit that shocked audiences and shook the foundations of 19th-century theatre.
