SUMMARY:Thrity Umrigar
DESCRIPTION:In Everybody’s Son\, during a terrible heat wave in 1991–the worst in a decade–ten-year-old Anton has been locked in an apartment in the projects\, alone\, for seven days\, without air conditioning or a fan. With no electricity\, the refrigerator and lights do not work. Hot\, hungry\, and desperate\, Anton shatters a window and climbs out. Cutting his leg on the broken glass\, he is covered in blood when the police find him. \nJuanita\, his mother\, is discovered in a crack house less than three blocks away\, nearly unconscious and half-naked. When she comes to\, she repeatedly asks for her baby boy. She never meant to leave Anton–she went out for a quick hit and was headed right back\, until her drug dealer raped her and kept her high. Though the bond between mother and son is extremely strong\, Anton is placed with child services while Juanita goes to jail. \nThe Harvard-educated son of a US senator\, Judge David Coleman is a scion of northeastern white privilege. Desperate to have a child in the house again after the tragic death of his teenage son\, David uses his power and connections to keep his new foster son\, Anton\, with him and his wife\, Delores–actions that will have devastating consequences in the years to come. \nFollowing in his adopted family’s footsteps\, Anton\, too\, rises within the establishment. But when he discovers the truth about his life\, his birth mother\, and his adopted parents\, this man of the law must come to terms with the moral complexities of crimes committed by the people he loves most. \nThrity Umrigar is the author of six novels—The Story Hour\, The World We Found\, The Weight of Heaven\, The Space Between Us\, If Today Be Sweet\, and Bombay Time—and the memoir First Darling of the Morning. The Armington Professor of English at Case Western Reserve University and a journalist for nearly twenty years\, she is the winner of the Nieman Fellowship to Harvard and was a 2006 finalist for the PEN/Beyond Margins Award. She lives in Cleveland\, Ohio.

SUMMARY:Amelia Gray + Rosecrans Baldwin
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith is doubly excited to host a joint reading by Amelia Gray and Rosecrans Baldwin to celebrate their anticipated new books\, Isadora and The Last Kid Left. Don’t miss this! \nIsadora \nAmelia Gray’s Isadora is a shocking and visceral portrait of an artist and woman drawn to the brink of destruction by the cruelty of life; a legendary artist churning through prewar Europe. Isadora seeks to obliterate the mannered portrait of a dancer and to introduce the reader to a woman who lived and loved without limits\, even in the darkest days of her life. \nThe Last Kid Left \nRosecrans Baldwin’s The Last Kid Left is loosely inspired by a true crime in 1930’s New England. After a double-murder kicks off a scandal in a beach town\, a young woman struggles to create a life for herself and escape the lurid interest of a tight-knit community. This novel is a sort of modern day witch hunt\, involving the precarious lives of two teens\, a small town sheriff\, a retired big-city police officer\, and an aspiring young journalist desperate to make the pages of the New Yorker— they all collide in a media firestorm that threatens to swallow them whole. \n
