SUMMARY:Vroman's: Friends In Deed Pasadena present Katherine Seligman discusses At the Edge of the Haight
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event and will take place on Crowdcast. Please register for FREE ahead of time to save your spot. \nEVENT LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/10cqtgvm \nMaddy Donaldo\, homeless at twenty\, has made a family of sorts in the dangerous spaces of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. She knows whom to trust\, where to eat\, when to move locations\, and how to take care of her dog. It’s the only home she has. When she unwittingly witnesses the murder of a young homeless boy and is seen by the perpetrator\, her relatively stable life is upended. Suddenly\, everyone from the police to the dead boys’ parents want to talk to Maddy about what she saw. As adults pressure her to give up her secrets and reunite with her own family before she meets a similar fate\, Maddy must decide whether she wants to stay lost or be found. Against the backdrop of a radically changing San Francisco\, a city which embraces a booming tech economy while struggling to maintain its culture of tolerance\, At the Edge of the Haight follows the lives of those who depend on makeshift homes and communities. \nAs judge Hillary Jordan says\, “This book pulled me deep into a world I knew little about\, bringing the struggles of its young\, homeless inhabitants–the kind of people we avoid eye contact with on the street–to vivid\, poignant life. The novel demands that you take a close look. If you knew\, could you still ignore\, fear\, or condemn them? And knowing\, how can you ever forget?” (Algonquin Books) \nKatherine Seligman is a journalist and author in San Francisco. As a reporter\, she’s focused on social issues\, from homelessness\, mental health and end of life issues to the city’s boom and bust cycles. But she’s also written about everything else\, from self-appointed graffiti curators\, urban coyotes and embryonic sex selection to what her kids learned growing up in Haight Ashbury. She has been a staff writer at the San Francisco Chronicle Magazine and a reporter for the San Francisco Examiner and USA Today. Her stories have appeared in Redbook\, Life\, Time\, California Magazine\, PBS Next Avenue\, CALmatters\, Al Jazeera America\, and the anthology “Fresh Takes.” She is a member of the San Francisco Writers’ Grotto and loves working in clay. \nHillary Jordan is the author of the novels Mudbound (2008) and When She Woke (2011)\, as well as the digital short “Aftermirth.” Her stories have been translated into 15 languages. When she’s not scribbling away\, Hillary teaches the occasional writing workshop and gives talks at colleges\, literary festivals\, and community libraries. She has a BA from Wellesley College and an MFA in Creative Writing from Columbia University. She grew up in Dallas\, TX and Muskogee\, OK and currently lives in Brooklyn\, along with half the writers in America. \nFriends in Deed is an interfaith organization that provides supportive services to meet basic human needs\, so our homeless and at-risk neighbors can rebuild their lives. “Celebrating more than 120 years of service\, we meet the needs of our clients by leveraging our small\, but dedicated staff\, with many volunteers. Friends In Deed meets people where they are\, without judgment or restrictions that deny people the help they need. We bring dignity to homelessness and poverty. Our staff’s smiling faces and helping hands ensure that individuals in need are safe and fed and find a vision of hope for their futures.” Find out more about Friends in Deed on their website.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Rucker Moses & Theo Gangi discuss Kingston and the Magician’s Lost and Found
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event and will take place on Crowdcast. Please register for FREE ahead of time to save your spot. \nEVENT LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/5e31r18m \nMagic has all but disappeared in Brooklyn\, but one tenacious young magician is determined to bring it back in this exciting middle grade mystery. \nKingston has just moved from the suburbs back to Echo City\, Brooklyn–the last place his father was seen alive. Kingston’s father was King Preston\, one of the world’s greatest magicians. Until one trick went wrong and he disappeared. Now that Kingston is back in Echo City\, he’s determined to find his father. \nSomehow\, though\, when his father disappeared\, he took all of Echo City’s magic with him. Now Echo City–a ghost of its past–is living up to its name. With no magic left\, the magicians have packed up and left town and those who’ve stayed behind don’t look too kindly on any who reminds them of what they once had. \nWhen Kingston finds a magic box his father left behind as a clue\, Kingston knows there’s more to his father’s disappearance than meets the eye. He’ll have to keep it a secret–that is\, until he can restore magic to Echo City. With his cousin Veronica and childhood friend Too Tall Eddie\, Kingston works to solve the clues\, but one wrong move and his father might not be the only one who goes missing. (G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers) \nRucker Moses is the pen name of Craig S. Phillips and Harold Hayes Jr. They both hail from Atlanta and started telling stories together at the University of Georgia. Together\, they’ve been nominated for three Emmys for writing in a children’s program and have written for TV shows based on books by R. L. Stine and Christopher Pike. They also make virtual reality experiences and own a production company named SunnyBoy Entertainment. In no particular order\, their favorite things to write about are ninjas\, magic\, space\, and abandoned amusement parks. When not doing all that\, they are hanging with their wonderful families at home in Los Angeles. \nTheo Gangi is a novelist and writing teacher based in Brooklyn. He’s written several acclaimed novels and short stories\, and he’s worked on shows for Netflix. He writes far-out adventures that happen right next door. He directs the MFA program at St. Francis College and lives with his wife\, young son\, and their dog. Kingston and the Magician’s Lost and Found is his first book for young readers.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Nicole LaPorte and Jeff Selingo discuss Guilty Admissions & Who Gets In and Why: A Year Inside College Admissions
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event and will take place on Crowdcast. Please register for FREE ahead of time to save your spot. \nEVENT LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/k9qs7ugk \nGuilty Admissions: The Bribes\, Favors\, and Phonies Behind the College Cheating Scandal weaves together the story of an unscrupulous college counselor named Rick Singer\, and how he preyed on the desperation of some of the country’s wealthiest families living in a world defined by fierce competition\, who function under constant pressure to get into the “right” schools\, starting with pre-school; non-stop fundraising and donation demands in the form of multi-million-dollar galas and private parties; and a community of deeply insecure parents who will do anything to get their kids into name-brand colleges in order to maintain their own A-list status.  Investigative reporter Nicole LaPorte lays bare the source of this insecurity–that in 2019\, no special “hook” in the form of legacy status\, athletic talent\, or financial giving can guarantee a child’s entrance into an elite school. The result is paranoia\, deception\, and true crimes at the peak of the American social pyramid. \nWith a glittering cast of Hollywood actors–including Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin–hedge fund CEOs\, sales executives\, and media titans\, Guilty Admissions is a soap-opera-slash-sneak-peek-behind-the-curtains at America’s richest social circles; an examination of the cutthroat world of college admissions; and a parable of American society in 2019\, when the country is run by a crass tycoon and all totems of status and achievement have become transactional and removed from traditions of ethical restraint.  A world where the rich get whatever they want\, however they want it. (Twelve) \nGetting into a top-ranked college has never seemed more impossible\, with acceptance rates at some elite universities dipping into the single digits. In Who Gets In and Why\, journalist and higher education expert Jeffrey Selingo dispels entrenched notions of how to compete and win at the admissions game\, and reveals that teenagers and parents have much to gain by broadening their notion of what qualifies as a “good college.” Hint: it’s not all about the sticker on the car window. \nSelingo\, who was embedded in three different admissions offices–a selective private university\, a leading liberal arts college\, and a flagship public campus–closely observed gatekeepers as they made their often agonizing and sometimes life-changing decisions. He also followed select students and their parents\, and he traveled around the country meeting with high school counselors\, marketers\, behind-the-scenes consultants\, and college rankers.  While many have long believed that admissions is merit-based\, rewarding the best students\, Who Gets In and Why presents a more complicated truth\, showing that “who gets in” is frequently more about the college’s agenda than the applicant. In a world where thousands of equally qualified students vie for a fixed number of spots at elite institutions\, admissions officers often make split-second decisions based on a variety of factors–like diversity\, money\, and\, ultimately\, whether a student will enroll if accepted. \nOne of the most insightful books ever about “getting in” and what higher education has become\, Who Gets In and Why not only provides an usually intimate look at how admissions decisions get made\, but guides prospective students on how to honestly assess their strengths and match with the schools that will best serve their interests.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Ioan Grillo discusses Blood Gun Money
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event and will take place on Crowdcast. Please register for FREE ahead of time to save your spot. \nEVENT LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/yc89s51l \nThe gun control debate is revived with every mass shooting. But far more people die from gun deaths on the street corners of inner city America and across the border as Mexico’s powerful cartels battle to control the drug trade. Guns and drugs aren’t often connected in our heated discussions of gun control–but they should be. In Ioan Grillo’s groundbreaking new work of investigative journalism\, he shows us this connection by following the market for guns in the Americas and how it has made the continent the most murderous on earth. \nGrillo travels to gun manufacturers\, strolls the aisles of gun shows and gun shops\, talks to FBI agents who have infiltrated biker gangs\, hangs out on Baltimore street corners\, and visits the ATF gun tracing center in West Virginia. Along the way\, he details the many ways that legal guns can cross over into the black market and into the hands of criminals\, fueling violence here and south of the border. Simple legislative measures would help close these loopholes\, but America’s powerful gun lobby is uncompromising in its defense of the hallowed Second Amendment. Perhaps\, however\, if guns were seen not as symbols of freedom\, but as key accessories in our epidemics of addiction\, the conversation would shift. Blood Gun Money is that conversation shifter. (Bloomsbury Publishing) \nIoan Grillo is a contributing writer at the New York Times specializing in crime and drugs. Based in Mexico City\, he has also worked for Time magazine\, the History Channel\, CNN\, Reuters\, the Associated Press\, and Esquire. He is the author of El Narco\, a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Award\, and Gangster Warlords\, a New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice and a Guardian Book of the Year.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Anne Lamott discusses Dusk Night Dawn: Notes on Courage
DESCRIPTION:Vroman’s\, Book Passage\, Kepler’s\, and Bookshop Santa Cruz welcome the bestselling author ANNE LAMOTT\, known for her beloved books like Operating Instructions\, Bird by Bird\, and Help\, Thanks\, Wow. \nAnne Lamott will be discussing her latest inspiring and candid book Dusk Night Dawn: Notes on Courage. Her conversation partner will be announced soon. \nTicketing: All tickets include a hardcover of Dusk Night Dawn\, which will be mailed to you after the event. Please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery.The first 150 people who purchase a ticket will receive a copy that is signed by Anne Lamott. \nPlease note: This event will be pre-recorded and live-streamed on Vroman’s Crowdcast. You will receive a link and password to attend the Crowdcast event on the afternoon of Friday\, February 26th. \nTicketholders will have the opportunity to submit their questions for the speakers through Eventbrite when you purchase your ticket. We will be accepting questions up to two days before the recording \nAbout the Author: Anne Lamott is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Almost Everything; Hallelujah Anyway; Small Victories; Stitches; Help\, Thanks\, Wow; Some Assembly Required; Grace (Eventually)\, Plan B; and Traveling Mercies\, as well as several novels. A past recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and an inductee to the California Hall of Fame\, she lives in Northern California. \nAbout the book: In Dusk Night Dawn\, Anne Lamott explores the tough questions that many of us grapple with. How can we recapture the confidence we once had as we stumble through the dark times that seem increasingly bleak? As bad news piles up—from climate crises to daily assaults on civility—how can we cope? Where\, she asks\, “do we start to our world and joy and hope and our faith in life itself back…with our sore feet\, hearing loss\, stiff fingers\, poor digestion\, stunned minds\, broken hearts?” \nWe begin\, Lamott says\, by accepting our flaws and embracing our humanity. \nDrawing from her own experiences\, Lamott shows us the intimate and human ways we can adopt to move through life’s dark places and toward the light of hope that still burns ahead for all of us. \nAs she does in Help\, Thanks\, Wow and her other bestselling books\, Lamott explores the thorny issues of life and faith by breaking them down into manageable\, human-sized questions for readers to ponder\, in the process showing us how we can amplify life’s small moments of joy by staying open to love and connection. As Lamott notes in Dusk Night Dawn\, “I got Medicare three days before I got hitched\, which sounds like something an old person might do\, which does not describe adorably ageless me.” Marrying for the first time with a grown son and a grandson\, Lamott explains that finding happiness with a partner isn’t a function of age or beauty but of outlook and perspective. \nFull of the honesty\, humor\, and humanity that have made Lamott beloved by millions of readers\, Dusk Night Dawn is classic Anne Lamott—thoughtful and comic\, warm and wise—and further proof that Lamott truly speaks to the better angels in all of us.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Luvvie Ajayi Jones\, in conversation with KevOnStage
DESCRIPTION:This virtual event is ticketed. (Scroll down to purchase tickets) \nLuvvie Ajayi Jones is known for her trademark wit\, warmth\, and perpetual truth-telling. But even she’s been challenged by the enemy of progress known as fear. She was once afraid to call herself a writer\, and nearly skipped out on doing a TED talk that changed her life because of imposter syndrome. As she shares in Professional Troublemaker\, she’s not alone. \nWe’re all afraid. We’re afraid of asking for what we want because we’re afraid of hearing no. We’re afraid of being different\, of being too much or not enough. We’re afraid of leaving behind the known for the unknown. But in order to do the things that will truly\, meaningfully change our lives\, we have to become professional troublemakers: people who are committed to not letting fear talk them out of the things they need to do or say to live free. \nWith humor and honesty\, and guided by the influence of her professional troublemaking Nigerian grandmother\, Funmilayo Faloyin\, Luvvie walks us through what we must get right within ourselves before we can do the things that scare us; how to use our voice for a greater good; and how to put movement to the voice we’ve been silencing–because truth-telling is a muscle. \nThe point is not to be fearless\, but to know we are afraid and charge forward regardless. It is to recognize that the things we must do are more significant than our fears. This book is about how to live boldly in spite of all the reasons we have to cower. Let’s go! (Penguin Life) \nThis event ticket includes a signed hardcover copy of Professional Troublemaker along with a “Judgey Pop”\, as well as online access to the event for your household. You will receive a link and password to attend the Crowdcast event on the afternoon of Tuesday\, March 2nd. \nQuestions? Email us at email@vromansbookstore.com

Auriane and Monica will be in conversation with Rachel Lynn Solomon. \nAbout I Think I Love You\nArch-nemeses Emma\, a die-hard romantic\, and more-practical minded Sophia find themselves competing against one another for a coveted first-prize trip to a film festival in Los Angeles . . . what happens if their rivalry turns into a romance? For fans of Becky Albertalli’s Leah on the Offbeat\, full of laugh-out-loud humor and make-your-heart-melt moments. (Underlined) \nAbout Once Upon a Quinceañera\nCarmen Aguilar just wants to make her happily ever after come true. Except apparently “happily ever after” for Carmen involves being stuck in an unpaid summer internship. Now she has to perform as a party princess! In a ball gown. During the summer. In Miami. \nFine. Except that’s only the first misfortune in what’s turning out to a summer of Utter Disaster. \nBut if Carmen can manage dancing in the blistering heat\, fending off an oh-so-unfortunately attractive ex\, and stopping her spoiled cousin from ruining her own quinceañera–Carmen might just get that happily ever after–after all. (Harperteen) \nAuriane Desombre is the author of I Think I Love You\, and works as a middle school teacher and freelance editor. She holds an MA in English Literature and an MFA in Creative Writing for Children & Young Adults.
