SUMMARY:Vroman's: Local Author Day featuring Rings of Kindness
DESCRIPTION:Rings of Kindness is a compilation of 85 true stories of kindness received\, written by 80 plus authors\, 20 of whom reside in the Los Angeles area. The book was created and edited by Matthew J. Goldberg\, an inspirational humorist from the Philadelphia area\, and designed to spread optimism\, love and kindness via our stories of kindness. The contributing writers comprise a wide variety of backgrounds and range from high school students to senior citizens\, and geographically from Nova Scotia\, Canada to Queensland\, Australia.  All have stories that are highly relatable. \nThe contributors reading from their work this evening are Cathy Dreyfuss\, Boliang (Michael) Wang\, Lauri Fraser\, and Harri James. \nParticipant Bios  \nCathy Dreyfuss was born in New York\, raised in Los Angeles\, and has lived on Venice Beach for the last 45 years. She started out as a pianist\, cartoonist and hippie traveler\, then became an attorney and social justice activist\, dabbling in singing\, guitar playing and zydeco dancing in her spare time.  She represented indigent defendants and immigrants in criminal courts from 1984 to 2022\, when she decided to leave lawyering for a more creative life. She has been writing personal stories for several years and is currently working on a memoir about her travels in the 1970’s. \nBoliang (Michael) Wang is an award-winning student filmmaker and a published author. After acquiring his B.A. in screenwriting\, Michael has worked on productions produced by major Hollywood production companies such as Fox Sony\, and Paramount. Michael\, an international student\, is currently pursuing his Master’s in Film & TV Production at Loyola Marymount University. \nLauri Fraser is an American voice actress who has spent more than 20 years lending her talents to animation projects spanning film\, TV series\, commercials and video games.  Lauri’s vocal variations can be heard as: Marie Antoinette (“Peabody and Sherman); Mrs. Olson (“Olaf’s Frozen Adventure\,”); both Rocky and Natasha (“The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle’); and “Rocky J. Squirrel” (Geico Insurance).  When not in a recording booth\, Lauri can be found performing stories at venues in and around Hollywood. She produced her own acclaimed live storytelling series and podcast\, “I Love A Good Story\,” for eleven years.  But she’s most proud of her performance as herself on the mega-hit ABC television series “Shark Tank.”  Lauri and her sister pitched their father’s invention\, Hugo’s Amazing Tape–and got a deal! \nHarri James is a filmmaker\, storyteller\, and 2e education advocate.  She recently had a story published in the anthology\, “Rings of Kindness.”  Combining filmmaking with her passion for gifted and twice exceptional (2e) education\, she directed her first documentary\, “O’Kelley Legends:  2e Behind the Scenes.”  When she’s not writing\, Harri speaks at educational conferences and college campuses on parent advocacy.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Marcie Bianco Discusses Breaking Free
DESCRIPTION:For more than a century\, women have fought for equality. Yet\, time and again\, their battles have fallen short. Even so-called constitutionally-protected equal rights can be withdrawn by judges and undermined by legislators. But the greater problem is in the notion of equality itself. \nIn Breaking Free\, culture writer Marcie Bianco persuasively argues that the very concept of equality is a fallacy\, an illusory goal that cannot address historic forms of discrimination and oppression. Starting with the campaign for women’s suffrage and traveling through modern history\, she shows us how equality has been designed to keep women and disenfranchised communities chasing an unobtainable goal. Conditioned for generations to want equality\, it has become an insidious mindset locking us into the gender binary and reductive identity politics. Bianco calls upon a long-overlooked lineage to argue that only freedom can liberate feminism from these constraints and proposes three freedom practices for women to reclaim their bodily autonomy and power. \nWhat happens if we free ourselves of equality? Controversial and thrilling\, Breaking Free guides readers toward new hope for the future of the feminist movement.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Denene Miller discusses One Blood
DESCRIPTION:Join New York Times bestselling author Denene Millner as she explores the lives of three generations of women tied together by love\, hope\, dreams\, ambition…and family secrets in this epic novel. \nMeet Grace: raised by her beloved grandmother in tension-filled\, post-segregation Virginia\, Grace is barely a teenager when she loses her grandmother. Shellshocked\, she is shipped up North to live with her formidably ambitious Aunt Hattie―a woman who firmly left behind her Southern roots in pursuit of upward mobility. Feeling like a fish out of water in the high society world filled with fancy teas and coveted debutante balls\, Grace’s only place of comfort is with the smart\, handsome son of one of the society’s grand dames. \nMeet Delores: beautiful\, intelligent and fierce\, Delores a.k.a. Lolo has never had it easy. Once she makes it north\, she puts aside her dream of being a model to do what she has to do to survive as a woman with little money and no mooring: get married and have a family of her own. When secrets start to spill out and she and her family slowly begin to unravel\, Lolo is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her dream intact and those she loves together. \nMeet Rae: when Lolo’s headstrong daughter\, Rae discovers that she is adopted\, it’s just one secret among others that her family is keeping. When Rae finds out that she’s about to become a mother herself\, she knows that there is an important reckoning that must be faced about herself and her two mothers. \nPotent\, poetic\, powerful\, told with deep love\, and spanning from the Great Migration to the civil unrest of the 1960s to the quest for women’s equality in early 2000s\, Denene Millner’s beautifully wrought novel explores three women’s intimate\, and often complicated\, struggle with what it truly means to be to be family.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Sara Kuburic discusses It's On Me
DESCRIPTION:So many of us feel lonely\, unfulfilled\, or trapped–in our roles and relationships\, in cycles of self-sabotage and bad decisions\, by our patterns and misguided attempts to feel happy or to feel something. According to existential psychotherapist Sara Kuburic\, it doesn’t have to be so difficult. Really. \nThe answer is found in facing ourselves–whatever version that might be\, regardless of whether we like the person we see reflected back to us. It’s about accepting full responsibility for the choices and actions that create our reality. It’s about finally taking ownership of this person we call our “Self.” It’s about realizing that it’s on us to figure out the two most essential questions: “Who am I” and “Why am I here?” and then to live accordingly. \nIn It’s on Me\, Kuburic unpacks “self-loss\,” giving us new vocabulary to understand this rarely talked about experience and offers tools she’s used for years to help clients recover. Self-loss becomes apparent when we do not recognize ourselves in our actions\, words\, or relationships; when we lose sight of who we truly are\, and feel the pain and emptiness from performing or observing life\, rather than living it. \nRevelatory and empowering\, Kuburic shows how we can stop sleepwalking our way through the lives we don’t want and step into our most vibrant\, authentic\, and meaningful Self. In doing so\, we unlock a deep sense of connection to our innermost being\, and to those around us.

Through vivid illustrations\, archival media\, and engaging storytelling\, KAOS Theory shows how Ben crafted a life centered around the power of fellowship\, community\, and the use of art and media as a social force. The text takes a journey through history and time\, beginning with Ben’s ancestors in the American southwest\, up through Ben’s childhood in New Mexico\, his experiences in Vietnam\, his work as a filmmaker and pioneer of the L.A. Rebellion Film Movement\, and as founder of KAOS Network. But KAOS Theory is more than just the story of one man’s life. It is a work of art\, remembrance\, and tribute.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Evelyn McoDonnell discusses The World According To Joan Didion
DESCRIPTION:Joan Didion was a writer’s writer; not only a groundbreaking journalist\, essayist\, novelist and screenwriter\, but a keen observer who honed her sights on life’s telling details. Her insights continue to influence creatives and admirers\, encouraging them to become close observers of the world\, unsentimental critics\, and meticulous stylists. \nAn antidote to a global view that narrows our vision to the smallest screens\, The World According to Joan Didion is a meditation on the people\, places\, and objects that propelled Didion’s prose and an invitation to journalists\, storytellers\, and life adventurers to “throw themselves into the convulsions of the world\,” as she once said. \nEvelyn McDonnell\, the acclaimed journalist\, essayist\, critic\, feminist\, native Californian\, and university professor who regularly teaches Didion’s work\, is attuned to interpret Didion’s vision for readers today. Inspired by Didion’s own words–from her works both published and unpublished–and informed by the people who knew Didion and those whose lives she shaped\, The World According to Joan Didion is an illustrated journey through her life\, tracing the path she carved from Sacramento\, Portuguese Bend\, Los Angeles\, and Malibu to Manhattan\, Miami\, and Hawaii. McDonnell reveals the world as it was seen through Didion’s eyes and explores her work in chapters keyed to the singular physical motifs of her writing: Snake. Typewriter. Hotel. Notebook. Girl. Etc. \nOne of the first books to be published after the revered writer’s death in 2021\, The World According to Joan Didion is a literary companion for those embarking on new journeys and a guide to innovative ways of being. It will radically transform the way you explore the world\, and will help you answer the question as you sit in a café\, or on a plane or train\, pondering the future: What would Joan Didion have seen?

SUMMARY:Steve Searles\, in conversation with Chris Erskine\, discusses What the Bears Know
DESCRIPTION:In this wondrous and eye-opening exploration\, Steve Searles\, the renowned and respected “Bear Whisperer” of Mammoth Lakes\, takes the reader on a journey into the lives of these remarkable creatures and the world we share. \nIn the late 1990s\, the town of Mammoth Lakes\, California hired Steve Searles as a hunter to cull half its troublesome bear population. But as he began to prepare for the grim task\, the bears soon won him over\, and Searles realized there had to be a better way. He soon developed non-lethal tactics to control their behavior and overpopulation which heralded a landmark moment in the care and handling of the American black bear. \nBut change was not without its challenges. To some\, his success was dismissed due to his lack of formal academic training. Yet Searles never wavered in his commitment and eventually became not just a local folk hero but a nationally recognized expert. This high school dropout saved not just the bears\, but\, in many ways\, his community. \nIn a tradition that runs from John Muir to Bear Grylls\, Searles finds a fellowship with nature and a deeper meaning in the world of bears. Do bears understand things we don’t? Are they dialed into some greater natural force? \nUnlike us\, bears waste little time on unreasonable fears. The bears are fully in the moment. They have an inner peace that seems to offset their power and strength. That may explain why no other animal on the planet is as revered as the bear. \nAs Searles shares his remarkable knowledge and we become immersed in the ursine world\, you’ll never look at bears or nature the same way again. Warm and poignant\, and perfect for anyone who has been fascinated by the natural world\, What the Bears Know shows that wisdom and fulfillment can come from unexpected places. (Pegasus Books)

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Louis Friedman discuss Alone But Not Lonely
DESCRIPTION:Humans have always been fascinated by the possibility of extraterrestrial life\, often wondering if we are alone in the universe. Drawing on nearly fifty years as a leader in planetary exploration\, Louis Friedman brings into focus the subject of extraterrestrial life\, separating knowledge from conjecture\, fact from fiction\, to draw scientific and technical conclusions that answer this enduring question. \nFriedman argues that intelligent life is probably rare in the universe (maybe even uniquely on Earth) but that simple life is likely abundant on millions or billions of planets waiting now to be discovered. He asserts that studying and searching for extraterrestrial life cannot be done by interstellar probes–due to the vastness of space and the comparative brevity of human lifespans–but it can be done remotely by a new technique involving the solar gravity lens that can magnify exoplanets by tens of billions. This technique will allow humankind to explore exoplanets and open up an exciting new field of comparative astrobiology. \nWide-ranging in scope\, this book discusses the history of searching for extraterrestrial life\, the scientific evidence thereof\, and finally his own conclusions on what’s next. Included in the book are three appendices: an explanation of interstellar messaging\, a reprint of a debate between Carl Sagan and Ernst Mayr on extraterrestrial intelligence\, and an opinion essay on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
