SUMMARY:SCCM: Connections Exhibits and Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Connections is a public project produced for the Southern California Children’s Museum by the nonprofit Drawing Together in collaboration with four artists: Karen Godfrey and Mary Duman from Wrightwood and Amy Bauer and Emily Gallagher from Los Angeles. The exhibit and workshops aim to explore our connection to each other and the planet and address social isolation. Research has found that nearby nature can help us feel connected by offering socially isolated people an alternative way of feeling connected and overcoming the effect of low social connectedness. \nJoin Southern California Children’s Museum for several workshops and an exhibit that brings nature\, imagination\, and connection for little ones together! This project is made possible by an Impact Grant from the California Arts Council\, a state granting agency. \nWorkshop: April 27th at 11:30 – Interconnected Wonders \nThe Interconnected Wonders workshop offers cooperative activities to experience a felt sense of our place in the larger web of life on Earth. Children will be invited to connect through a community connection action and imaginative play dress-up activity. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS:\nKaren Godfrey: As a mixed media artist\, I am richly inspired and intrigued by the raw wild beauty inherent in the immense and minute wonders of Life itself. I am informed by the vast sensuality of the rhythmic seasons and cycle of Nature: The Spiral Dance of Birth\, Life\, Death\, and Rebirth. \nAmy Bauer: A lifelong maker\, Amy Bauer is an artist\, designer\, educator\, creator of Fun-A-Day-LA\, and Creative Corps Grantee 23-24. Amy explores environmental themes and ties them into an investigation of the likenesses and frictions between her urban life and her folk art aesthetic. \nEmily Gallagher: Emily Gallagher is a soprano and community-based artist living in Los Angeles. She has performed in the United States and Europe and works to unite communities through the arts through programming that is accessible and engaging for a diverse audience. \nMary Duman: Mary Duman is an experienced ceramics instructor and artist for over 30 years\, who currently serves as a resident artist at Cobb Mountain Art and Ecology. Drawing inspiration from nature\, ancient Celtic symbols\, and the Wheel of the Year\, her sculptures act as portals to ancestral wisdom.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: TICKETED - Vroman’s presents Alua Arthur discusses Briefly Perfectly Human
DESCRIPTION:For her clients and everyone who has been inspired by her humanity\, Alua Arthur is a friend at the end of the world. As our country’s leading death doula\, she’s spreading a transformative message: thinking about your death–whether imminent or not–will breathe wild\, new potential into your life. \nWarm\, generous\, and funny AF\, Alua supports and helps manage end-of-life care on many levels. The business matters\, medical directives\, memorial planning; but also honoring the quiet moments\, when monitors are beeping and loved ones have stepped out to get some air–or maybe not shown up at all–and her clients become deeply contemplative and want to talk. Aching\, unfinished business often emerges. Alua has been present for thousands of these sacred moments–when regrets\, fears\, secret joys\, hidden affairs\, and dim realities are finally said aloud. When this happens\, Alua focuses her attention at the pulsing center of her clients’ anguish and creates space for them\, and sometimes their loved ones\, to find peace. \nThis has had a profound effect on Alua\, who was already no stranger to death’s periphery. Her family fled a murderous coup d’état in Ghana in the 1980s. She has suffered major\, debilitating depressions. And her dear friend and brother-in-law died of lymphoma. Advocating for him in his final months is what led Alua to her life’s calling. She knows firsthand the power of bearing witness and telling the truth about life’s painful complexities\, because they do not disappear when you look the other way. They wait for you. \nBriefly Perfectly Human is a life-changing\, soul-gathering debut\, by a writer whose empathy\, tenderness\, and wisdom shimmers on the page. Alua Arthur combines intimate storytelling with a passionate appeal for loving\, courageous end-of-life care–what she calls “death embrace.” Hers is a powerful testament to getting in touch with something deeper in our lives\, by embracing the fact of our own mortality. “Hold that truth in your mind\,” Alua says\, “and wondrous things will begin to grow around it.” (Mariner Books) \nTembi Locke is a New York Times bestselling author\, TV producer\, actor\, and screenwriter with a passion for connecting with her audience both on the page and on the screen. In partnership with Hello Sunshine\, Tembi served as co-creator and executive producer for the adaptation of her memoir\, “From Scratch: A Memoir of Love\, Sicily\, and Finding Home\,” for Netflix. The series\, “From Scratch\,” became an instant global hit\, spending weeks on Netflix’s Top Ten List in over thirty countries around the world and earning six NAACP Image Award nominations and the prestigious Los Angeles Film Italy award. Her aforementioned memoir was also a Reese’s Book Club pick and an instant bestseller. Tembi and her sister\, Attica\, are currently under an overall development deal with Universal Television \nIn addition to her accomplishments as a writer and producer\, Tembi is an accomplished actor with over sixty film and television credits. She most recently held a recurring role on Netflix’s hit show\, “Never Have I Ever.” Offscreen\, she is a nationally recognized speaker\, delivering keynotes on resilience\, loss\, creativity and the power of storytelling.  Her TEDx talk has been viewed by individuals and nonprofits around the world. She launched her podcast\, “Lifted\,” which features dynamic women sharing their stories of what and who have lifted their lives. Through her work Tembi aims to inspire people to embrace resilience\, love\, and the power of community. \nThis ticketed event will take place in the Forum at All Saints Church located at 132 N Euclid Ave\, Pasadena. \nTickets include one copy of Briefly Perfectly Human which will be handed out at check-in.\nA book signing will follow the discussion.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Holly Gramazio discusses The Husbands
DESCRIPTION:When Lauren returns home to her flat in London late one night\, she is greeted at the door by her husband\, Michael. There’s only one problem–she’s not married. She’s never seen this man before in her life. But according to her friends\, her much-improved decor\, and the photos on her phone\, they’ve been together for years. \nAs Lauren tries to puzzle out how she could be married to someone she can’t remember meeting\, Michael goes to the attic to change a lightbulb and abruptly disappears. In his place\, a new man emerges\, and a new\, slightly altered life re-forms around her. Realizing that her attic is creating an infinite supply of husbands\, Lauren confronts the question: If swapping lives is as easy as changing a lightbulb\, how do you know you’ve taken the right path? When do you stop trying to do better and start actually living?

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Christina Vo discusses My Vietnam\, Your Vietnam: A Father Flees. a Daughter Returns. a Dual Memoir.
DESCRIPTION:In this captivating\, heartfelt dual memoir\, Christina Vo and her father\, Nghia M. Vo\, delve into themes of their identity\, heritage\, and the tragic multi-generational ordeals of war\, with intertwined stories that present a multifaceted portrayal of Vietnam and its profound influence on shaping both familial bonds and individual identities across time. \nNghia M. Vo left Vietnam in April 1975 with only the clothes on his back\, following the US withdrawal of troops and the fall of Saigon. After a harrowing two-month journey\, he found himself in a refugee camp outside Harrisburg\, Pennsylvania where he began the painful process of reconnecting with his family and rebuilding his life as a medical doctor. Christina Vo\, Nghia’s daughter\, grew up in the US. As a restless young adult\, she felt a longing to connect with her heritage and soon moved to Hanoi in former North Vietnam–much to her father’s distress–to discover a country that had changed dramatically since the war\, yet retained many of the ancient traits experienced by her ancestors. \nCaptivating in its fluid movement and evocative depictions of place\, My Vietnam\, Your Vietnam offers readers a rich\, multilayered exploration of Vietnam through two very distinct voices and perspectives. The memoir’s exploration of healing the trauma suffered by war refugees and their families echoes far beyond the personal experience of the two authors\, providing a path to discussion of reconciliation and hope.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Viet Thanh Nguyen and Minnie Phan present Simone
DESCRIPTION:From Pulitzer Prize-winning author Viet Thanh Nguyen and illustrator Minnie Phan comes an unforgettable story of a Vietnamese American girl whose life is transformed by a wildfire. \nWhen Simone is awakened by her mom as a wildfire threatens their home\, it is the beginning of a life-changing journey. On their way to take shelter in a high school gym\, the family passes firefighters from a prison unit battling the fire. Simone’s mom tells her that when she was a girl in Viet Nam\, she was forced to evacuate her home after a flood. Joined by other children sheltering in the gym\, Simone\, a budding artist\, encourages everyone to draw as a way to process their situation. After a few days\, Simone and her mom are able to return to their home\, which is fortunately still standing\, and her outlook has changed. As Simone begins creating a piece of art with one of her new friends\, she realizes that even though they are young\, they can dream and work together for a more sustainable future. With a poetic\, haunting family story by esteemed author Viet Thanh Nguyen and gorgeous art from illustrator Minnie Phan\, this powerful tale introduces an unforgettable young heroine who awakens to a new role fighting for her community and for the future of the planet.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Jessie Rosen\, in conversation with Cindy Chupack\, discusses The Heirloom
DESCRIPTION:The answer to the biggest question of her life lies in someone else’s past. \nShea Anderson’s beloved Nonna had endless rules for a happy\, healthy life: avoid owls\, never put a hat on a bed\, and never\, ever accept a marriage proposal that comes with an heirloom ring. Happily ever after is hard enough without bad karma in the mix.\nNaturally\, panic sets in when Shea’s boyfriend\, John\, proposes with an heirloom ring. Yes is her answer\, but Nonna’s warning sets Shea on a mission to ensure the ring contains forever energy: She will find its previous owners wherever they may be. With the help of her long-suffering big sister and a nosy journalist eager for a big story\, Shea embarks on a journey that takes her from Los Angeles and New York to Italy and Portugal. \nSophisticated\, cinematic\, and full of lively observations\, The Heirloom is a diamond-sharp read for everyone who’s ever tried to make their own good luck.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Joanne Leedom-Ackerman and Adam Sikes present their latest releases\, The Far Side of the Desert and The Underhanded
DESCRIPTION:The Far Side of the Desert: A terrorist attack–a Kidnapping–the ultimate vacation gone Wrong \nSisters Samantha and Monte Waters are vacationing together in Santiago de Compostela\, Spain\, enjoying a festival and planning to meet with their brother\, Cal–but the idyllic plans are short-lived. When terrorists’ attacks rock the city around them\, Monte\, a U.S. foreign service officer\, and Samantha\, an international television correspondent\, are separated\, and one of them is whisked away in the frenzy. \nThe family mobilizes\, using all their contacts to try to find their missing sister\, but to no avail. She has vanished. As time presses on\, the outlook darkens. Can she be found\, or is she a lost cause? And\, even if she returns\, will the damage to her and those around her be irreparable? \nMoving from Spain to Washington to Morocco to Gibraltar to the Sahara Desert\, The Far Side of the Desert is a family drama and political thriller that explores links of terrorism\, crime\, and financial manipulation\, revealing the grace that ultimately foils destruction. (Oceanview Publishing) \n  \nThe Underhanded: Europe’s last line of defense against neofascism–a history professor? \nProfessor William Dresden has found solitude in the south of France to grapple with his troubled past–a neglected upbringing failed romances\, the recent demolition of his life’s work in academia\, and even witnessing genocide\, among other secrets. But he soon learns that he has much larger problems when an adrift MI6 officer\, Adeline Parker\, calls and insists on a meeting\, revealing shocking information about his family. Then a bomb explodes. \nWilliam and Adeline narrowly escape the attempt on their lives and find themselves battling a group of neofascists and extreme nationalists who are inciting violent divisions across Europe. They are pulled into a shadowy war against a cabal called the Strasbourg Executive and pushed to the brink by family betrayals\, corrupt institutions\, and the Executive’s subversive plots against the fabric of Western society.\nTo survive\, William must make tough decisions and act in ways he could’ve never previously imagined–but even that might not be enough.
