A literary salon embraces authors and celebrates the craft of writing. Authors read from and discuss their work in a community of readers who ask thoughtful and engaging questions. The goal is to foster conversation and promote the respectful exchange of ideas.

At this salon, we will gather to explore: strategies for finding resilience after loss; opportunities for building deeper and more joyful connections with our spouses, children, and parents; and pathways for strengthening our connections to generations past.

We’ll hear from the following authors:

KJ Dell’Antonia, former New York Times reporter and author of How to Be a Happier Parent: Raising a Family, Having a Life, and Loving (Almost) Every Minute 

Kenyatta Berry, author of The Family Tree Toolkit: A Comprehensive Guide to Uncovering Your Ancestry and Researching Genealogy

Laura Fahrenthold, author of The Pink Steering Wheel Chronicles: A Love Story

Marvin Scott, Emmy Award-winning WPIX newscaster, and author of As I Saw It: a reporter’s intrepid journey
