SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: TICKETED - Lauren Groff discusses & signs Brawler: Stories
DESCRIPTION:A stunning\, fierce collection from a master of the short story and one of the most important writers of our time \nRead alone\, each story in Lauren Groff’s electric collection is an individual triumph\, bold\, agile\, and packed with power. Read together\, they hum in exhilarating resonance. Ranging from the 1950s to the present day and moving across age\, class\, and region — from New England to Florida to California — these nine stories reflect and expand upon a shared theme: the ceaseless battle between humans’ dark and light angels. \n“In every human there is both an animal and a god wrestling unto death\,” one character tells us. Among those we see caught in this match are a young woman suddenly responsible for her disabled sibling\, a hot-tempered high school swimmer in need of an adult\, a mother blinded by the loss of her family\, and a banking scion endowed with a different kind of inheritance. Motivated by love\, impeded by the double edges of other peoples’ good intentions\, they try to do the right thing for as long as they can. \nPrecise\, surprising\, and provocative\, anchored by profound insight into human nature\, Brawler reveals the repeated\, sometimes heartbreaking turning points between love and fear\, compassion and violence\, reason and instinct\, altruism and what it takes to survive.

SUMMARY:Pasadena Playhouse: Amadeus
DESCRIPTION:The stage is set at Pasadena Playhouse for a riveting\, white-hot rivalry between two composers: Antonio Salieri\, the court’s celebrated musician\, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart\, the vulgar prodigy whose brilliance threatens everything Salieri holds dear. Lavishly laced with biting wit\, this Tony and Oscar-winning masterpiece dives deep into ambition\, envy\, and the intoxicating cost of genius. Amadeus unfolds in a world where music ignites obsession and drama crescendos into legend.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Steven C. Bowie discusses & signs Concerto for Cootie: The Life and Times of Cootie Williams
DESCRIPTION:Jazz legend Cootie Williams left home to start his career as a professional musician at the age of fifteen. In 1940\, after eleven years as one of the major soloists with the Duke Ellington orchestra\, Williams was lured away to the band of Benny Goodman\, one of the most popular bands in the country. At the time\, it was a controversial move–it was still taboo for African Americans to share the bandstand with white people. Current references to the move usually reduce it to a song written by Raymond Scott\, “When Cootie Left the Duke.” In reality\, it was a seismic event. The Black press predicted Black bands would collapse from raids on their ranks. White musicians were afraid they would be put out of work. And the white press stirred up visions of Black musicians mixing with white women in the new landscape of integrated orchestras. \nThe twenty years trumpeter Williams spent as a band leader (1942-1962) have been covered in only the barest of details. His involvement in politics and the civil rights movement have not been detailed before. An astute talent scout\, Williams and his band launched the careers of Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson\, Earl “Bud” Powell\, Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis\, and Pearl Bailey. He also was the first to record the music of a young Thelonious Monk\, using two of Monk’s compositions (“Epistrophy” and “‘Round Midnight”) as theme songs for his band. \nSteven C. Bowie respectfully tells Williams’s story\, from his Alabama ancestry onward\, including many new details rediscovered from the historical archives of the African American press and those gleaned from the author’s interviews with his friends and colleagues.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Dr. Melisa Moore discusses & signs The Good Sleep Guide for Neurodivergent Kids: Science-Backed Strategies for Children and Teens with Adhd\, Autism\, and Other Neurodiversities
DESCRIPTION:A compassionate\, science-backed guide to improving sleep in children and teens with neurodiversities — written by a renowned pediatric sleep expert who is also the parent of a neurodivergent child. \nWhen Dr. Melisa Moore realized her son had autism and ADHD\, she already had a decade of experience helping families navigate sleep issues\, but nothing had prepared her for the reality of managing sleep in her own household. The advice she had learned felt too rigid\, unrealistic\, or simply ineffective for kids like hers. What she needed was a different kind of guide — so she set out to create one. \nWith humor\, validation\, and true empathy\, Moore offers a multifaceted framework that blends evidence-based science with real-life parenting wisdom. She breaks down the myths of sleep training\, redefines “healthy sleep” for neurodiverse families\, and provides a toolkit for finding what works — for your child\, in your life\, right now\, even if it doesn’t look the way anyone told you it should. As Moore shows\, consistently better sleep is possible\, and The Good Sleep Guide for Neurodivergent Kids will get your family there.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: TICKETED - Dr. Deepika Chopra\, in conversation with Mindy Kaling\, discusses and signs The Power of Real Optimism: A Practical\, Science-Based Guide to Staying Resilient\, Curious\, and Open Even When Life Is Hard
DESCRIPTION:Optimism isn’t about pretending everything is fine. It’s about staying open and flexible–especially when it’s not. In this fresh\, science-backed debut\, professional psychologist and media expert Dr. Deepika Chopra shows us how to build the kind of optimism that can actually withstand real life. \nWe’ve been sold the idea that optimism is a mood\, a mindset\, or worse–just an inherent trait. But what if real optimism is something else entirely? \nIn The Power of Real Optimism\, Dr. Deepika Chopra–known as The Optimism Doctor(R)–offers a radically different definition: optimism as a science\, a skill\, and a psychological muscle we can strengthen. Drawing from over a decade immersed in the science of resilience\, emotional well-being\, and cognitive psychology–as well as her work with clients\, innovative workshops\, and hallmark practices (think: evidence-based visualization\, narrative reframing\, her signature “self-worth work\,” and even color therapy)–Dr. Chopra offers a toolkit for navigating the chaos\, uncertainty\, and nuance of being human–without losing yourself to it. \nGrounded\, practical\, and poetic in all the right ways\, this book will challenge your relationship with hope\, rewire how you recover from hard things\, and invite you to stay soft without falling apart. With her blend of intimate storytelling\, psychological insight\, and tangible tools–including a 33-day Real Optimism Challenge–Dr. Chopra offers something far more enduring than a quick fix or fleeting affirmation. She invites us into a deeper\, more resilient way of living–one where we can stay curious in the face of fear\, open in the face of grief\, and grounded even as the world wobbles beneath us. \nBecause real optimism doesn’t deny the dark–it teaches us how to see in it.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Cara Black discusses & signs Huguette
DESCRIPTION:In the lawlessness of post-World War II France\, a resilient young woman fights to survive and make a living\, no matter the cost–from the New York Times bestselling author of Three Hours in Paris and the Aimée Leduc series \nAfter Libération\, spring 1945: Seventeen-year-old Huguette Faure is a survivor. The war has taken everything from her–both her parents and her sense of safety. Now\, pregnant and on the lam\, she cannot return to her childhood home in Paris. Forced to reinvent herself\, she must outrun her father’s enemies\, who want her dead. After narrowly avoiding jail time–thanks to the help of a kindhearted police officer named Claude Leduc–Huguette lands a job assisting a legendary film director. As her role develops from helping him with chores to cooking his books\, she sees an opportunity to break free from the ghosts of her past once and for all. \nIn this big-hearted story of resilience\, New York Times bestselling author Cara Black offers a wholly original depiction of postwar France as well as introduces Claude Leduc–the man who decades later inspired his granddaughter\, Aimée\, to become a private investigator.
