SUMMARY:Elizabeth Musser in conversation with Carolyn Curry
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Musser in conversation with Carolyn Curry\nAuthor of From the Valley We Rise \nFrom the award-winning\, best-selling author of The Swan House comes a meticulously researched novel that brings to life the courage and faith of those who risked everything to protect the innocent during humanity’s darkest hours. \nIn the heart of Southern France\, Isabelle Seauve’s commitment to the Resistance is tested beyond measure after her father sacrifices his life to protect her involvement in hiding Jewish children. When she discovers a traitor within the Resistance ranks\, her already perilous mission becomes even more dangerous. Her path crosses with US Army Chaplain Peter Christensen\, who carries his own emotional scars from service in North Africa. Together\, they must navigate the brutal realities of war and their growing feelings for each other. \nMeanwhile\, fifteen-year-old René Amblard barely escapes a devastating German attack that claims his mother’s life. With a Jewish orphan girl at his side\, he seeks refuge with his cousin Isabelle. As bombs fall around them\, this unlikely group must first find freedom in their souls before they can rebuild what has been destroyed.

SUMMARY:Livingston Lecture featuring Becky Aikman
DESCRIPTION:Livingston Lecture featuring Becky Aikman\nSpitfires: The American Women Who Flew in the Face of Danger during World War I \nThe heart-pounding true story of the daring American women who piloted the most dangerous aircraft of World War II through the treacherous skies of Britain. \nThey were crop dusters and debutantes\, college girls and performers in flying circuses-all of them trained as pilots. Because they were women\, they were denied the opportunity to fly for their country when the United States entered the Second World War. But Great Britain\, desperately fighting for survival\, would let anyone-even Americans\, even women-transport warplanes. Thus\, twenty-five daring young aviators bolted for England in 1942\, becoming the first American women to command military aircraft. \nIn a faraway land\, these “spitfires” lived like women decades ahead of their time. Risking their lives in one of the deadliest jobs of the war\, they ferried new\, barely tested fighters and bombers to air bases and returned shot-up wrecks for repair\, never knowing what might go wrong until they were high in the sky. Many ferry pilots died in crashes or made spectacular saves. It was exciting\, often terrifying work. The pilots broke new ground off duty as well\, shocking their hosts with thoroughly modern behavior. \nWith cinematic sweep\, Becky Aikman follows the stories of nine of the women who served\, drawing on unpublished diaries\, letters\, and records\, along with her own interviews\, to bring these forgotten heroines fully to life. Spitfires is a vivid\, richly detailed account of war\, ambition\, and a group of remarkable women whose lives were as unconventional as their dreams. \n

SUMMARY:Tochi Onyebuchi In Celebration Of Harmattan Season
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place at the Decatur Library. This event is free and open to the public but registration is requested. Click here to register.\n\nCharis and the Georgia Center for the Book welcome Tochi Onyebuchi in conversation with Olivia Johnson for a discussion of Harmattan Season\, a gripping fantasy noir that will have you by the throat—both dryly funny and unforgettably evocative.\n\nVeteran and private eye Boubacar doesn’t need much—least of all trouble—but trouble always seems to find him. Work has dried up\, and he’d rather be left alone to deal with his bills as the Harmattan rolls in to coat the city in dust\, but Bouba is a down on his luck deux fois\, suspended between two cultures and two worlds. \nWhen a bleeding woman stumbles onto his doorway\, only to vanish just as quickly\, Bouba reluctantly finds himself enmeshed in the secrets of a city boiling on the brink of violence. The French occupiers are keen to keep the peace at any cost\, and the indigenous dugulen have long been shattered into restless factions vying for a chance to reclaim their lost heritage and abilities. As each hard-won clue reveals horrifying new truths\, Bouba may have to carve out parts of himself he’s long kept hidden\, and decide what he’s willing to offer next. \nFrom the visionary author of Riot Baby and Goliath\, Harmattan Season is a gripping fantasy noir in the tradition of Chandler\, Hammond\, and Christie that will have you by the throat—both dryly funny and unforgettably evocative.

SUMMARY:Livingston Lecture featuring Rick Atkinson
DESCRIPTION:In the second volume of the landmark American Revolution trilogy by the Pulitzer Prize-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The British Are Coming\, George Washington’s army fights on the knife edge between victory and defeat. \nThe first twenty-one months of the American Revolution—which began at Lexington and ended at Princeton—was the story of a ragged group of militiamen and soldiers fighting to forge a new nation. By the winter of 1777\, the exhausted Continental Army could claim only that it had barely escaped annihilation by the world’s most formidable fighting force. \nTwo years into the war\, George III is as determined as ever to bring his rebellious colonies to heel. But the king’s task is now exponentially more complicated: fighting a determined enemy on the other side of the Atlantic has become ruinously expensive\, and spies tell him that the French and Spanish are threatening to join forces with the Americans. \nPrize-winning historian Rick Atkinson provides a riveting narrative covering the middle years of the Revolution. Stationed in Paris\, Benjamin Franklin woos the French; in Pennsylvania\, George Washington pleads with Congress to deliver the money\, men\, and materiel he needs to continue the fight. In New York\, General William Howe\, the commander of the greatest army the British have ever sent overseas\, plans a new campaign against the Americans—even as he is no longer certain that he can win this searing\, bloody war. The months and years that follow bring epic battles at Brandywine\, Saratoga\, Monmouth\, and Charleston\, an infamous winter of misery in Valley Forge\, and yet more appeals for sacrifice by every American committed to the struggle for freedom. \nTimed to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the beginning of the Revolution\, Atkinson’s brilliant account of the lethal conflict between the Americans and the British offers not only deeply researched and spectacularly dramatic history\, but also a fresh perspective on the demands that a democracy makes on each of its citizens. \nThe Livingston Lectures are made possible with generous funding from the Livingston Foundation of Atlanta.
