John Badalament, author of The Modern Dad's Dilemma
Start: 7:00 pm

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

End: 9:00 pm

On Friday June 11th at 7pm, Katherine Howe will read from and speak about her novel, “The Physick Book of  Deliverance Dane” at The Jabberwocky Bookshop, at the Tannery, 50 Water St, Newburyport.

Set primarily on the Northshore, in Marblehead and Salem, and in Harvard’s
graduate early American history programs, this historical thriller was
a blockbuster bestseller in hardcover last year.  Now out
in paperback this captivating novel combines the Salem witch trials and
a contemporary romance with fast-paced action and local history.

The USA Today raves, “A terrific debut novel...a beautifully written,
historically captivating thriller of the hidden powers of women
throughout the centuries.  And The Boston Globe calls it “a devilishly delightful read.”

 

Katherine Howe
traces her ancestry back to the 1630’s in New England, and includes 2
of the witches accused in old Salem. She is completing her PhD in
American and New England studies at Boston University, and lives in
Marblehead.
