SUMMARY:Vroman's: Kemi Ashing-Giwa discusses The Splinter in the Sky
DESCRIPTION:A diverse\, exciting debut space opera about a young tea expert who is taken as a political prisoner and recruited to spy on government officials-a role that may empower her to win back her nation’s independence-perfect for fans of N.K. Jemisin and Nnedi Okorafor. The dust may have just settled in the failed war of conquest between the Holy Vaalbaran Empire and the Ominirish Republic\, but the last Emperor’s surrender means little to a lowly scribe like Enitan. All she wants is to quit her day job and expand her fledgling tea business. But when her lover is assassinated and her sibling is abducted by Imperial soldiers\, Enitan abandons her idyllic plans and weaves her tea tray up through the heart of the Vaalbaran capital. There\, she will learn just how far she is willing to go to exact vengeance\, free her sibling\, and perhaps even secure her homeland’s freedom.

SUMMARY:Monopole Wine by RX: Red\, White\, & Dodger Blue Lasorda Family Wines
DESCRIPTION:Join Monopole by Wine Rx for a Baseball inspired pairing and stadium bites as they explore Lasorda Wines. Wear your Dodger Blue! \nMany people do not know that Tommy was introduced to the Art of winemaking before he ever put on a baseball glove. His father\, Sabatino Lasorda\, was an Italian immigrant hailing from the small town of Tollo in the Abruzzo wine region. Over the decades that followed\, Tommy would develop a deep appreciation for wine that stemmed from the memories with his father. And when it came time to hang up the uniform\, he carried his passion and desire for excellence from the baseball field to the winery. Tommy’s motivation behind introducing Lasorda Family Wines was the desire to create something special that not only tied together his greatest passions in life\, but also that could be shared with family\, friends\, and fans. \n\nTickets are $50. Reserve your glass with a $10 deposit and pay the balance at the event.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Elizabeth L. Silver discusses The Majority
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth L. Silver\, in conversation with Natashia Deon\, discusses The Majority \nInspired by history\, a riveting novel of love and friendship\, motherhood and ambition\, and one woman’s fight to be a Supreme Court justice. \nHalf of the United States is waiting for Justice Sylvia Olin Bernstein to die. The other half is praying for her to hold on. At 83\, “the contemptuous S.O.B.” doesn’t have much time left. What she has is a story\, one she has wrested from the grip of history to tell herself–of how she rose to her historic position on the Supreme Court\, and the barriers she broke along the way. \nTold over fifty years\, from losing her mother at a young age\, to falling in love\, to navigating an unplanned pregnancy and motherhood\, to learning how to spar with a sexist mentor\, Sylvia’s personal story reveals the intimate truth about who she was as she ascended to her modern throne: not just a brilliant mind\, but a daughter\, a best friend\, a wife\, mother\, and advocate. While caught in a dramatic tug of war between career and family\, truth and convenience\, progress and patience\, she will be given a chance to change the course of American history – and give voice\, at last\, to the majority. \nSet against the vibrant sweep of the 20th century\, The Majority brings us into the sacrifices\, heartaches\, and complex emotional life of a powerful woman ahead of her time\, whose life and work turn out to have supreme stakes.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Sujata Massey discusses The Mistress of Bhatia House
DESCRIPTION:Sujata Massey\, in conversation with Naomi Hirahara\, discusses The Mistress of Bhatia House. \nBombay’s only female solicitor\, Perveen Mistry\, grapples with class divisions\, sexism\, and complex family dynamics as she seeks justice for a mistreated young woman in this thrilling fourth installment in Sujata Massey’s award-winning series. \nIndia\, 1922: Perveen Mistry is the only female lawyer in Bombay\, a city where child mortality is high\, birth control is unavailable and very few women have ever seen a doctor. \nPerveen is attending a lavish fundraiser for a new women’s hospital specializing in maternal health issues when she witnesses an accident. The grandson of an influential Gujarati businessman catches fire–but a servant\, his young ayah\, Sunanda\, rushes to save him\, selflessly putting herself in harm’s way. Later\, Perveen learns that Sunanda\, who’s still ailing from her burns\, has been arrested on trumped-up charges made by a man who doesn’t seem to exist. \nPerveen cannot stand by while Sunanda languishes in jail with no hope of justice. She takes Sunanda as a client\, even inviting her to live at the Mistry home in Bombay’s Dadar Parsi colony. But the joint family household is already full of tension. Perveen’s father worries about their law firm taking so much personal responsibility for a client\, and her brother and sister-in-law are struggling to cope with their new baby. Perveen herself is going through personal turmoil as she navigates a taboo relationship with a handsome former civil service officer. \nWhen the hospital’s chief donor dies suddenly\, Miriam Penkar\, a Jewish-Indian obstetrician\, and Sunanda become suspects. Perveen’s original case spirals into a complex investigation taking her into the Gujarati strongholds of Kalbadevi and Ghatkopar\, and up the coast to Juhu Beach\, where a decadent nawab lives with his Australian trophy wife. Then a second fire erupts\, and Perveen realizes how much is at stake. Has someone powerful framed Sunanda to cover up another crime?

SUMMARY:Vroman’s: Chang Sheng presents Oldman Part 3
DESCRIPTION:Chang Sheng\, in conversation with Wan-Chun Alex Ma\, presents Oldman Part 3 \nA beautiful queen rules her country with an iron fist. Unmarried and without an heir\, she adopts orphans as a way to prove that even commoners can reign as kings. Yet\, as the years progress\, she shows no sign of aging. Only one man knows the dark secret to her eternal youth: Oldman\, a bearded magician the queen has locked in her darkest dungeon. One night\, Oldman steps through the bars of his prison and disappears before the queen’s very eyes. Enraged\, she sends her army after him in a desperate campaign to keep her secret hidden. \nStaging his escape\, Oldman appears to step through the bars of his cell and vanish as if by magic\, cleverly misleading the guards. He rescues a neighboring prisoner\, an outlaw sword maiden who has had her arms and legs amputated. Upon taking her to a brilliant doctor who fits her with mechanical limbs\, Oldman and the sword maiden vow to take revenge on the queen that wronged them\, all the while evading the queen’s army as she launches a desperate campaign to keep her secret hidden. \nThe story continues as Oldman and his companions have escaped the palace after a failed peace negotiation\, but they’re being pursued by the full force of the queen’s army. The queen no longer treats Oldman’s resistance lightly; her orders for her soldiers are to capture his companions dead or alive… and send Oldman straight to her to face the queen’s wrath. (Eigomanga) \nHaving read comics from a young age\, Chang Sheng has always preferred science fiction stories best. He admits to having been deeply influenced by the work of Yukinobu Hoshino\, and his training in drawing and oil painting while studying at the Fu-Hsin Trade and Arts School is likewise reflected in his exquisitely detailed and extremely realistic video game-like style. Chang Sheng has represented Taiwan at the Angoulême International Comics Festival three times and has won several prizes overseas. Oldman was a finalist in the 2013 International Manga Award in Japan. \nModerator Wan-Chun Alex Ma is Academy Sci-Tech Award Recipient in 2019. His work on facial performance capture contributed to many recent motion pictures\, including the Hobbit trilogy\, Iron Man 3\, the reboot Planet of the Apes series. \n  \nPurchase your book at Vroman’s Bookstore or online at vromansbookstore.com.
