SUMMARY:Vroman's: Cara Black discusses Night Flight to Paris
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by Alliance Française de Pasadena \nOctober 1942: it’s been two years since Kate Rees was sent to Paris on a British Secret Service mission to assassinate Hitler. Since then\, she has left spycraft behind to take a training job as a sharpshooting instructor in the Scottish Highlands. But her quiet life is violently disrupted when Colonel Stepney\, her former handler\, drags her back into the fray for a risky three-pronged mission in Paris. \nEach task is more dangerous than the next: Deliver a package of forbidden biological material. Assassinate a high-ranking German operative whose knowledge of invasion plans could turn the tide of the war against the Allies. Rescue a British agent who once saved Kate’s life–and get out. \nKate will encounter sheiks and spies\, poets and partisans\, as she races to keep up with the constantly shifting nature of her assignment\, showing every ounce of her Oregonian grit in the process. \nNew York Times bestselling author Cara Black has crafted another heart-stopping thrill ride that reveals a portrait of Paris at the height of the Nazi occupation.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Michelle Dowd discusses Forager
DESCRIPTION:My family prepared me for the end of the world\, but I know how to survive on what the earth yields. \nAs a child\, Michelle Dowd grew up on a mountain in the Angeles National Forest. She was born into an ultra-religious cult–or the Field as they called it–started in the 1930s by her grandfather\, a mercurial\, domineering\, and charismatic man who convinced generations of young male followers that he would live 500 years and ascend to the heavens when doomsday came. Comfort and care are sins\, Michelle is told . As a result\, she was forced to learn the skills necessary to battle hunger\, thirst\, and cold; she learned to trust animals more than humans; and most importantly\, she learned how to survive in the natural world. \nAt the Field\, a young Michelle lives a life of abuse\, poverty\, and isolation\, as she obeys her family’s rigorous religious and patriarchal rules–which are so extreme that Michelle is convinced her mother would sacrifice her\, like Abraham and Isaac\, if instructed by God. She often wears the same clothes for months at a time; she is often ill and always hungry for both love and food. She is taught not to trust Outsiders\, and especially not Quitters\, nor her own body and its warnings. \nBut as Michelle gets older\, she realizes she has the strength to break free. Focus on what will sustain\, not satiate you\, she tells herself . Use everything. Waste nothing. Get to know the intricacies of the land\, like the intricacies of your body. And so she does. \nUsing stories of individual edible plants and their uses to anchor each chapter\, Forager is both a searing coming-of-age story and a meditation on the ways in which understanding nature can lead to freedom\, even joy.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: John Sayles discusses Jamie Macgillivray
DESCRIPTION:It begins in the highlands of Scotland in 1746\, at the Battle of Culloden\, the last desperate stand of the Stuart ‘pretender’ to the throne of the Three Kingdoms\, Bonnie Prince Charlie\, and his rabidly loyal supporters. Vanquished with his comrades by the forces of the Hanoverian (and Protestant) British crown\, the novel’s eponymous hero\, Jamie MacGillivray\, narrowly escapes a roadside execution only to be recaptured by the victors and shipped to Marshalsea Prison (central to Charles Dickens’s Hard Times) where he cheats the hangman a second time before being sentenced to transportation and indentured servitude in colonial America “for the term of his natural life.” His travels are paralleled by those of Jenny Ferguson\, a poor\, village girl swept up on false charges by the English and also sent in chains to the New World. \nThe novel follows Jamie and Jenny through servitude\, revolt\, escape\, and romantic entanglements — pawns in a deadly game. The two continue to cross paths with each other and with some of the leading figures of the era- the devious Lord Lovat\, future novelist Henry Fielding\, the artist William Hogarth\, a young and ambitious George Washington\, the doomed General James Wolfe\, and the Lenape chief feared throughout the Ohio Valley as Shingas the Terrible.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Kristin Hannah discussing The Four Winds
DESCRIPTION:Texas\, 1921. A time of abundance. The Great War is over\, the bounty of the land is plentiful\, and America is on the brink of a new and optimistic era. But for Elsa Wolcott\, deemed too old to marry in a time when marriage is a woman’s only option\, the future seems bleak. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli and decides to change the direction of her life. With her reputation in ruin\, there is only one respectable choice: marriage to a man she barely knows. \nBy 1934\, the world has changed; millions are out of work and drought has devastated the Great Plains. Farmers are fighting to keep their land and their livelihoods as crops fail and water dries up and the earth cracks open. Dust storms roll relentlessly across the plains. Everything on the Martinelli farm is dying\, including Elsa’s tenuous marriage; each day is a desperate battle against nature and a fight to keep her children alive. \nIn this uncertain and perilous time\, Elsa–like so many of her neighbors–must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or leave it behind and go west\, to California\, in search of a better life for her family. \nThe Four Winds is a rich\, sweeping novel that stunningly brings to life the Great Depression and the people who lived through it–the harsh realities that divided us as a nation and the enduring battle between the haves and the have-nots. A testament to hope\, resilience\, and the strength of the human spirit to survive adversity\, The Four Winds is an indelible portrait of America and the American dream\, as seen through the eyes of one indomitable woman whose courage and sacrifice will come to define a generation. (St. Martins Griffin) \nThis is a ticketed event. Tickets include one entry and one paperback copy of The Four Winds.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Elizabeth McKenzie and Yxta Maya Murray discuss their new releases
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth McKenzie and Yxta Maya Murray discuss their respective new releases\, The Dog of the North and God Went Like That. \nElizabeth McKenzie \nPenny Rush has problems. Her marriage is over; she’s quit her job. Her mother and stepfather went missing in the Australian outback five years ago; her mentally unbalanced father provokes her; her grandmother Dr. Pincer keeps experiments in the refrigerator and something worse in the woodshed. But Penny is a virtuoso at what’s possible when all else fails. \nElizabeth McKenzie\, beloved novelist of California and its idiosyncrasies\, follows Penny on her quest for a fresh start. There will be a road trip in the Dog of the North\, an old van with gingham curtains\, a piñata\, and stiff brakes. There will be injury and peril. There will be a dog named Kweecoats and two brothers who may share a toupee. There will be questions: Why is a detective investigating her grandmother\, and what is “the scintillator”? And can Penny recognize a good thing when it finally comes her way? \nThis slyly humorous\, thoroughly winsome novel finds the purpose in life’s curveballs\, insisting that even when we are painfully warped by those we love most\, we can be brought closer to our truest selves. (Penguin Press) \nYxta Maya Murray \nIn award-winning legal scholar and novelist Yxta Maya Murray’s new novel\, federal agent Reyna Rodriguez reports on a real-life nuclear reactor meltdown and accidents that occurred in 1959\, 1964\, and 1968 at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory. An infamous research and development complex in California’s Simi Valley\, the lab was eventually dismantled by the US government–but not before it created a toxic legacy of contamination and numerous cancer clusters. Toxins and nuclear residue may have been further released by the 2018 Woolsey Fire and 2019 floods in the area. \nGod Went Like That takes the form of an EPA report in which Reyna presents riveting interviews with individuals affected by the disasters. With imagination and artistry\, Murray brings to life an actual 2011 Department of Energy dossier that detailed the catastrophes and the ensuing public health fallout and highlights the high costs of governmental malfeasance and environmental racism.

SUMMARY:Vroman’s: Special Storytime featuring Molly Ruttan presenting Something Wild
DESCRIPTION:Performance jitters lead to some imaginative what ifs before a little girl finds her confidence. \nHannah loves to play her violin–as long as no one is watching. On the day of the recital\, she’s wishing something wild would happen so she won’t have to go. Perhaps a dolphin will jump out of the fountain and carry her away\, or a giant rabbit will abscond with her violin. Hannah’s big imagination dreams up all kinds of entertaining scenarios that could change the course of her day\, but what actually happens is the most amazing of all! \nChildren and grown-ups alike will relate to Hannah’s stage fright and get a laugh out of all her wishful thinking. Most importantly\, they will be right there beside her on recital day when something wild–and beautiful–happens. (Nancy Paulsen Books) \n* A special craft will follow the event for those who purchase a copy of Something Wild.
