SUMMARY:Daughter of Egypt: Marie Benedict Author Event (Ticketed Event/Fundraiser)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-person\, ticketed event with Marie Benedict\, sponsored by the Friends of the Avon Library. \nTickets are available now: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/rq972yy \nNew York Times bestselling novelist Marie Benedict transports readers from the glamour and turbulence of 1920s Britain and Cairo to the sands and lush shores of ancient Egypt in Daughter of Egypt (on-sale: March 24\, 2026). Known for her “delightful blend of historical fiction and suspense\,” Benedict weaves a sweeping tale of a young woman who unearths the truth about a forgotten Pharaoh\, rewriting both of their legacies forever. \nIn the 1920s\, archeologist Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon of Highclere Castle made headlines around the world with the discovery of the treasure-filled tomb of the boy Pharaoh Tutankhamun. But behind it all stood Lady Evelyn Herbert—daughter of Lord Carnarvon—whose daring spirit and relentless curiosity made the momentous find possible. Though not a trained archaeologist\, Evelyn nonetheless pursued her passion\, determined to leave her mark on the field and be treated as an equal by her male colleagues. \nNearly 3\,000 years earlier\, another woman defied the expectations of her time: Hatshepsut\, Egypt’s lost pharaoh. From her father Thutmose I\, she learned how to lead and through her political savvy she rose to guide her kingdom to prosperity. By her side was her trusted adviser and secret lover\, Senemut. Though he was a commoner and she royalty\, together they formed a partnership that allowed a dynasty to flourish. Despite the fact that Hatshepsut’s reign was bold and successful\, it was nearly erased from history\, quite literally. \nWhen Evelyn travels with her father and Carter to Egypt to work on archaeological digs\, her obsession with finding Hatshepsut’s tomb deepens. She risks everything to uncover the truth about Hatshepsut’s reign and in the process is forced to confront the reality of the artifacts trade. Despite the mounting regulations that prohibit the removal of antiquities from Egypt\, dealers are selling them at alarming rates. With her assumptions challenged and her eyes newly opened\, Evelyn comes to see that Egypt is the rightful home of these prized artifacts. But as danger closes in and political tensions rise\, she faces an impossible choice: protect her father’s legacy—or forge her own. \nPropelled by high adventure and deadly intrigue\, Daughter of Egypt is the story of two ambitious women who lived centuries apart. Both were forced to hide who they were during their lifetimes\, yet ultimately changed history forever. \n  \nMARIE BENEDICT is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Queens of Crime\, The Mitford Affair\, Her Hidden Genius\, The Mystery of Mrs. Christie\, The Only Woman in the Room\, Lady Clementine\, Carnegie’s Maid\, The Other Einstein\, and with Victoria Christopher Murray\, the Good Morning America Book Club pick The Personal Librarian and the Target Book of the Year The First Ladies. All have been translated into multiple languages\, and many have been selected for the Barnes & Noble Book Club\, Target Book Club\, Costco Book Club\, Indie Next List\, and LibraryReads List. She lives in Pittsburgh with her family.

SUMMARY:A Protest History of the United States/Author Event with Gloria J. Browne-Marshall (in-person)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-person\, moderated conversation with Gloria J. Browne-Marshall\, to discuss A Protest History of the United States. \nExploring 500 years of resistance movements in US history—and how lasting change results from diverse forms of sustained protest\n\nIn this timely new book in Beacon’s successful ReVisioning History series\, professor Gloria Browne-Marshall delves into the history of protest movements and rebellion in the United States. Beginning with Indigenous peoples’ resistance to European colonization and continuing through to today’s climate change demonstrations\, Browne-Marshall sheds light on known and forgotten movements and their unsung leaders\, offering insights into past successes and setbacks. \nDrawing upon legal documents\, archival material\, memoir\, government documents and secondary sources\, A Protest History of the United States expands the definition of protest beyond traditional marches and rallies. Acts of resistance also include journalism\, legal battles\, boycotts\, everyday defiance\, and more. Browne-Marshall highlights stories of individuals from all walks of life and time periods who helped bring strong attention to their causes. You’ll read the stories of: \n\nabolitionist John Brown\, who was executed for initiating the 1859 slave revolt at Harpers Ferry\nlabor organizer Mother Jones\, who fought for the enforcement of the 8-hour workday\ncivil rights activist Daisy Bates\, who played a leading role in the 1957 Little Rock Integration Crisis\n\nAs contemporary movements struggle with inertia and doubt\, Browne-Marshall underscores the essential role of protest as an American tradition in shaping and preserving democratic principles. By illuminating the strategies and sacrifices of activists past and present\, A Protest History of the United States empowers readers to find their own voice in today’s fights for justice. \nAbout the Series \nBeacon Press’s ReVisioning History series consists of accessibly written books by notable scholars that reconstruct and reinterpret US history from diverse perspectives. \nGloria J. Browne-Marshall is a professor of constitutional law and Africana studies at John Jay College (CUNY)\, an award-winning writer\, and a legal commentator. She has litigated cases for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund\, the Southern Poverty Law Center\, and Community Legal Services. Her previous works include She Took Justice: The Black Woman\, Law\, and Power and The Voting Rights War. A frequent commentator on CNN\, NPR\, and MSNBC\, Browne-Marshall has received numerous accolades\, including the 2024 American Bar Association Silver Gavel Award.

SUMMARY:The Harvey Girl: Virtual Author Event with Dana Stabenow
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual conversation with Dana Stabenow\, to celebrate the release of her new book\, The Harvey Girl. \nFrom the award-winning author of the Kate Shugak Mysteries\, a thrilling new detective series set during America’s wild boom time of the nineteenth century.\n\nWELCOME TO THE GILDED AGE. WHERE NOT EVERYTHING GLITTERS. \n1890. The New Mexico Territory is a lawless frontier where criminals steal money and land alike with impunity. Everyone wears a six-gun and is ready and willing to draw it. \nIn the new city of Montaña Roja\, Fred Harvey’s growing empire is threatened by the robberies plaguing his newest Harvey House restaurant. To get justice\, he needs a skilled detective to go undercover and procure answers to questions the law will not ask. \nThe assignment falls to Clare Wright\, a young Pinkerton agent. Disguised as one of Harvey’s famous hostesses\, Clare travels west where she risks being exposed at every step of her investigation. To get answers – and to get out alive – there are only two things she can trust: her instincts\, and her derringer. \nDana Stabenow was born in Anchorage\, Alaska and raised on a 75-foot fishing tender. She knew there was a warmer\, drier job out there somewhere and found it in writing. Her first book in the bestselling Kate Shugak series\, A Cold Day for Murder\, received an Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America.  Follow Dana at stabenow.com \nPlease register; Zoom links will go out the day before the event

When writer Captain Charles Johnson enters the garrison\, she strikes a deal: she’ll tell this opportunistic fool her story if he sends a doctor to her friend\, Mary Read\, who’s battling prison fever. \nPrior to their arrest\, life at sea had offered Anne and Mary freedom that few women knew. Anne\, born into scandal in Ireland\, seeks home and elusive safety in South Carolina. Discovering the opposite\, she makes a bitter bargain for emergency passage to the Bahamas. \nAcross the Atlantic in England\, Mary confronts her own limitations as an illegitimate daughter. She sneaks into a merchant crew\, disguised as a cabin boy. But when war sends Mary into the cavalry\, she meets a challenge even she might not rival. \nWhen their paths collide in Nassau\, a notorious “pirate den\,” Anne and Mary find kinship aboard the Revenge—the fastest ship in the Caribbean. With the governor out for blood\, every raid brings more risk. From the high seas to the depths of a Jamaican prison\, Anne and Mary must navigate impossible choices\, each determined to taste freedom again. \nRachel Rueckert has been pirate-obsessed since she was a young girl. She wore a plastic sword through her belt loops\, drew ships on tests when she didn’t know the answers\, and dressed as a pirate every year for Halloween—including in her high school senior picture. She is now an award-winning writer\, editor\, and teacher who holds an MFA from Columbia University and an M.Ed from Boston University. She is fascinated by unconventional journeys and enjoys excavating real-life people—such as Mary Read\, Anne Bonny\, and Sam Bellamy—from the sands of history. After a decade in Boston\, she is currently based in the Bay Area. Learn more at https://rachelrueckert.com/ \n~~ \nBooks will be for sale at this event.

SUMMARY:Blood Countess: Murder\, Betrayal\, and the Making of a Monster/Virtual Author Event with Shelley Puhak
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual conversation with Shelley Puhak\, to celebrate the release of her new book\, The Blood Countess: Murder\, Betrayal\, and the Making of a Monster.  \nThere have long been whispers\, coming from the castle; from the village square; from the dark woods. The great lady— a countess\, from one of Europe’s oldest families— is a vicious killer. Some even say she bathes in the blood of her victims. When the king’s men force their way into her manor house\, she has blood on her hands\, caught in the act of murdering yet another of her maids. She is walled up in a tower and never seen again\, except in the uppermost barred window\, where she broods over the countryside\, cursing all those who dared speak up against her. \nFor over 50 years\, the Guinness Book of World Records has insisted that 17th century Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Bathory was the world’s most prolific female serial killer. This summer\, however\, Guinness quietly revoked that title. Although they did not exonerate Bathory\, they walked back their claims\, stating that “her life history is so shrouded in legend that it is impossible to separate fact from fiction.” \nIn The Blood Countess\, bestselling author Shelley Puhak challenges that assertion\, showing that it is possible to excavate the true story. This is the first English-language biography of Elizabeth Bathory since 1997\, and it makes use of new archival evidence and new translations of old documents to settle the question of Bathory’s guilt once and for all. With the breathlessness of a whodunit\, Shelley traces the Countess’s downfall\, bringing to life an assertive woman leader in a world sliding into anti-scientific\, reactionary darkness—a world where nothing is ever as it seems. In this exhilarating narrative\, Puhak renders a vivid portrait of a tumultuous time\, revealing just how far we will go to destroy a woman in power. \nSHELLEY PUHAK writes literary nonfiction and poetry informed by rigorous historical research. Her prose has appeared in The Atlantic\, Smithsonian\, andVirginia Quarterly Review; been anthologized in Best American Travel Writing; and designated as Notable in four editions of Best American Essays. Her nonfiction debut The Dark Queens (Bloomsbury 2022)\, exploring the little-known queens Brunhild and Fredegund\, was a national bestseller and a USA Today Best Books selection\, an Amazon Editors’ Pick\, and a Goodreads Choice Awards finalist. Her second book The Blood Countess\, a reexamination of the notorious Elizabeth Bathory\, will be released in February 2026. \n​Shelley is also the author of three award-winning books of poetry. The most recent is Harbinger\, a National Poetry Series selection (Ecco/ HarperCollins 2022). Her poetry has appeared in journals such as Missouri Review\, Shenandoah\, and Verse Daily and been awarded the Anthony Hecht Prize\, the Towson Prize for Literature\, and two Maryland State Arts Council grants.  Learn more here. \nPlease register; Zoom links will go out the day before the event.

SUMMARY:The Chosen and the Damned/Virtual Author Event with David J. Silverman
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual moderated conversation with author David J. Silverman\, to celebrate the release of The Chosen and the Damned. \nA sweeping chronicle placing race at the center of Native American U.S. history\, from the award-winning author of This Land Is Their Land.\n\nWhen the colonial era began\, Europeans did not consider themselves as “Whites\,” and Native Americans did not think of themselves as “Indians.” Yet as a genocidal struggle for America unfolded over the course of generations\, all that changed. Euro-Americans developed a sense of racial identity\, superiority\, and national mission-of being chosen. They contended that Indians were damned to disappear so Whites could spread Christian civilization. Native people countered that the Great Spirit had created Indians and Whites separately and intended America to belong to Indians alone. \nIn The Chosen and the Damned\, acclaimed historian David J. Silverman traces Indian-White racial arguments across four centuries\, from the bloody colonial wars for territory to the national wars of extermination justified as “Manifest Destiny”; from the creation of reservations and boarding schools to the rise of the Red Power movement and beyond. In this transformative retelling\, Silverman shows how White identity\, defined against Indians\, became central to American nationhood. He also reveals how Indian identity contributed to Native Americans’ resistance and resilience as modern tribal people\, even as it has sometimes pit them against one another on the basis of race. \nThe epochal story of race in America is typically understood as a Black and White issue. The Chosen and the Damned restores the defining role Native people have played\, and continue to play\, in our national history. \nDavid J. Silverman is Professor of History at George Washington University. He is the author of the award-winning This Land is Their Land: The Wampanoag Indians\, Plymouth Colony\, and Troubled History of Thanksgiving\, as well as Thundersticks\, Ninigret\, Red Brethren\, and Faith and Boundaries. His essays have appeared in the New York Times\, The Atlantic\, Washington Post\, National Geographic\, and the Daily Beast. He lives in Washington\, D.C. \nPlease register; Zoom links will go out the day before the event.

SUMMARY:Radical Sisters: Shirley Temple Black\, Rose Kushner\, Evelyn Lauder and the Dawn of the Breast Cancer Movement/Author Event with Judith Pearson (in-person)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-person author event with Judith Pearson\, to celebrate her newest book\, Radical Sisters: Shirley Temple Black\, Rose Kushner\, Evelyn Lauder and the Dawn of the Breast Cancer Movement.  \nThere was a time when women’s health was severely marginalized.\nThere was a time when breast cancer wasn’t discussed.\nThere was a time when October wasn’t pink. \nBut three women refused to be silenced\, their indomitable spirits igniting a movement for change. \nWhen Shirley Temple Black\, Rose Kushner\, and Evelyn Lauder were diagnosed with breast cancer\, myths\, outdated protocols and lack of awareness of their disease were rampant. Worst of all was the paltry amount of research dollars devoted to the epidemic that was killing tens of thousands each year. Meticulously researched\, Radical Sisters is a rich narrative that transports readers through three decades of a changing social landscape in America. Taking cues from the women’s health movement and the AIDS movement\, these trail‑blazing advocates did for themselves what the mainstream healthcare system refused to do. \nWith a foreword by Nancy Brinker\, founder of Susan G. Komen\, and timed for the 2025 National Breast Cancer Awareness Month\, this book acts as a mirror\, allowing readers to see reflections of themselves\, and their own experiences and struggles. It is a powerful and emotional take on the evolution of the women’s health movement (and their participation in medicine) and the breast cancer revolution. \nRadical Sisters is a groundbreaking exploration into an untold story of resilience and the fight for women’s rights. Because of Shirley\, Rose and Evelyn\, breast cancer is no longer a saga of struggling alone in the dark against a mysterious and deadly disease. The more than 300\,000 diagnosed every year stand on the shoulders of these courageous women\, today empowered to strive for their own health and that of future generations. \nJudith Pearson is a best-selling author\, an accomplished presenter\, and a graduate of  Michigan State University. But her favorite title is “story teller\,” with a little “research junkie” thrown in. Those characteristics have resulted in six biographies\, including award-winners and a best-seller. Her last two books won a Nautilus Gold Award and the Florida Book Award.  An accomplished presenter\, Judy has turned her books’ subjects into presentations viewed by thousands in the U.S. and the U.K. She was named one of Chicago’s Most Inspirational Women\, selected as a finalist for he Arizona Healthcare Leadership Awards\, and named a Phoenix Healthcare Hero. Judy and her husband live on Florida’s beautiful gulf coast\, where long beach walks ignite her creativity. Learn more about her here.  \nPlease register so we can set the community room up with appropriate seating. \nBooks will be for sale at this event.

SUMMARY:The Unwritten Rules of Magic: Author Event with Harper Ross (in-person)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-person event with Harper Ross to celebrate the release of her new book\, The Unwritten Rules of Magic.  \nA spellbinding novel that blends magic and memory in an unforgettable journey through love\, grief\, and the cost of perfection across three generations of women. \nFor fans of The Midnight Library and In Five Years\, The Unwritten Rules of Magic is a spellbinding novel that blends magic and memory in an unforgettable journey through love\, grief\, and the hidden cost of perfection across three generations of women.   \nEmerson Clarke can’t remember a time when she felt in control. Her father―a celebrated author―was a chaotic force until he got Alzheimer’s. Her mother turned to gin. And recently\, her teen daughter has shut her out without explanation. If only she could arrange reality the same way she controls the stories she ghostwrites\, life could be perfect. \nOr so she thinks. \nAfter her father’s funeral\, Emerson steals his vintage typewriter―the one he’d forbidden anyone to touch―and tests its keys by typing out a frivolous wish. When it comes true the very next day\, she tries another. Then\, those words also spring to life. Suddenly\, she becomes obsessed with using the typewriter to rewrite happiness for herself and her daughter. \nBut the more she shapes her real-life\, the more she uncovers disturbing truths about her family’s history and the unexpected cost of every story-come-true. She should destroy the typewriter\, yet when her daughter’s secret finally emerges\, Emerson is torn between paying the price for bending fate and embracing the uncertainty of an unscripted life. \nHARPER ROSS has enjoyed a lifelong love affair with the dramatic story worlds in books and movies. After leaving her legal practice to raise her kids\, she discovered her own creative side and began writing novels that explore friendship\, family\, and forgiveness. Because she also appreciates the magic in everyday life—from the spark of attraction to those serendipitous moments we all experience—you’ll find a dash of that in her work too. When she’s not at the keyboard\, she’s likely to be singing badly in her car\, dancing in her kitchen\, or walking her adorable dog\, Mo. She’s also a lucky wife and mother to a very patient and supportive family. \nPlease register so we can set the community room up with appropriate seating. \nBooks will be for sale at this event.

SUMMARY:Unhired Hands - 18th Century Northern Slavery
DESCRIPTION:This event is in honor of Black History Month. \nUnhired Hands kicks-off the “America 250: The Revolutionary Spirit Lecture Series”\, co-sponsored by the Friends of the Weston Public Library\, The Weston History & Culture Center and the League of Women Voters of Weston\, with financial support by the Weston America 250 Committee. \nUnhired Hands\, presented by award-winning poet\, actor\, playwright David Mills\, will explore the history of slavery in the North during the 18th century\, through storytelling and poetry. \nSunday\, February 1\, 2026 at 3pm \nWeston Public Library 56 Norfield Road Weston\, CT 06883 \nThe Declaration of Independence was signed 250 years ago\, declaring\, “all men are created equal”\, however that was not the case for many of the men and women of African and Indigenous descent in 1776. \nUnhired Hands\, presented by David Mills\, will explore the history of slavery in the North during the 18th century\, interweaving poems with remarkable stories. \nMills will introduce the audience to Millie Tunnell\, who served George Washington and would become the oldest living woman in Queens\, Onesimus\, an African man enslaved by Puritan preacher Cotton Mather who would go on to help save the Massachusetts colony from smallpox\, and Victoria Earle Matthews\, an enslaved woman who became a celebrated writer and leader in the settlement movement. \nUnhired Hands will remind us that this nation is built on the labor of remarkable people. Mills’ poems “travel from the plantations of the South to historic cemeteries of Queens\,” says Maple Grove Cemetery Historian Carl Ballenas\, “unearthing slavery’s erasures with lyrical power.” \nAbout the Presenter: Davis Mills’ most recent books are Unhired Hands and How the Earth Answers\, both on slavery in the North\, (Massachusetts\, Queens and the Bronx\, specifically). Mills holds an MFA from Warren Wilson College and an MA from New York University—both in creative writing—as well as a B.A. (cum laude) from Yale University. He’s published four previous poetry collections: Boneyarn\, The Sudden Country\, The Dream Detective\, and After Mistic. He served as the Bronx County Historical Society Poet-in-Residence and Boneyarn won the North American Book Award. He is currently on a fellowship at the Cullman Center of the New York Public Library.
