The
Friends of Delaware County District Library are thrilled to host NYT
best selling author Joyce Maynard for the release of her new novel "How the Light Gets In"
during an enchanted evening at the Dempsey Event Center. In addition
to her storied career as a writer of books about family, love and loss
Joyce is also revered for her memoir writing and healing workshops.
The
evening will start in the Sanctuary space with demonstrations of Chi
Gong and Singing Bowls by experts from the Dempsey Center. Joyce will
speak about her new novel and be in conversation with local writing
legend Lee Martin who teaches at Ohio State University.
After
the presentations guests will enjoy wine and snacks and have the
opportunity to further explore the healing properties of Chi Gong and
Singing Bowls. Visitors can also join in making a “cork person” featured
in Count the Ways and tour the herb gardens on the beautiful grounds
of the historic Dempsey Center. Each ticket will include a copy of "How
the Light Gets In". Additional titles will be available for purchase and
signing from Beanbag Books.
