JOSIE ISELIN
Sea Glass Hearts
Thursday, February 9 at 7 PM

Meet photographer and installation artist Iselin, who has created a companion volume to her popular book Heart Stones. Sea glass - shards of broken glass tumbled by the waves into smooth, pebble-like forms - in the shape of a heart is a rare find. Beachcombers especially will love this book!
 

 

LISA SEE
Dreams of Joy
Thursday, February 16 at 7 PM

The New York Times bestselling author returns to the story of sisters Pearl and May from Shanghai Girls, and Pearl's strong-willed 19-year-old daughter, Joy. Reeling from newly uncovered family secrets, Joy runs away to Shanghai in early 1957 to find her birth father - the artist Z.G. Li, with whom both May and Pearl were once in love. Dazzled by him, and blinded by idealism and defiance, Joy throws herself into the New Society of Red China, heedless of the dangers in the Communist regime. Devastated by Joy's flight and terrified for her safety, Pearl is determined to save her daughter, no matter the personal cost.

Astonishing...one of those hard-to-put-down-until-four-in-the-morning books...a story with characters who enter a reader's life, take up residence, and illuminate the myriad decisions and stories that make up human history. — Los Angeles Times
