FRIDAY JUNE 4th AT 7 PM\, AT THE JABBERWOCKY BOOKSHOP\, NEWBURYPORT\, AUTHOR LINDA GREENLAW PRESENTS HER LATEST MEMOIR\, “SEAWORTHY\, A SWORDBOAT CAPTAIN RETURNS TO THE SEA.”
Linda Greenlaw’s first memoir\, “The Hungry Ocean”\, became an international bestseller. Not only was she the only female swordfishing boat captain\, she was the most successful captain in the industry’s fleet\, and she was the captain of the sister ship —the one who turned around and saved her boat and crew\, -- to the fishing boat that went down in a horrific storm memorialized in the book and movie\, “The Perfect Storm.”
Since then\, Greenlaw has written a series of books about the small Maine island she lives on and the fisherman there\, a series of mysteries with the same locale\, and a cookbook of New England specialties.
She will be speaking Friday night about her return to the grueling and exacting work of a swordfishing boat captain. The New York Times raved about her book\, “a beautiful book… a story of triumph\, of a woman not only making it but succeeding at the highest level in one of the most male-dominated and dangerous professions.”
This event is free and will be held at The Jabberwocky Bookshop\, 50 Water St. Newburyport. For more information\, call 978-465-9359 or visit www.jabberwockybookshop.com
ON THURSDAY JUNE 10th AT 7PM\, LOCAL
AUTHOR JOHN BADALAMENT WILL CELEBRATE THE PUBLICATION OF HIS NEW BOOK
“THE MODERN DAD’S DILEMMA\: HOW TO STAY CONNECTED TO YOUR KIDS IN A
RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD\,” AT THE JABBERWOCKY BOOKSHOP\, 50 WATER ST. NEWBURYPORT\, MA.
Join us for a father’s day celebration with the perfect book for the modern dad.
For
the past decade\, author John Badalament has heard a similar refrain
from dads in his popular parenting workshop. Modern dads want
connection\, closeness and intimacy\, unlike the silence and mystery of
fatherhood in past generations. In his new book\,
Badalament addresses these issues\, presenting commonsense hands-on
advice\, real-life examples\, and exercises to help fathers achieve their
vision while meeting the challenges of today’s family and work life.
John Baladament is a Harvard-trained educator and leading expert on fatherhood whose work has been featured in The New York Times and as the director of the acclaimed PBS documentary All Men Are Sons\: Exploring the Legacy of Fatherhood. He lives locally with his wife and 2 children.
This event is free and all are welcome. For more information please call 978-465-9359 or visit www.jabberwockybookshop.com
