Author Talk & Book Signing MONDAY, APRIL 19, 7PM ANNA QUINDLEN EVERY LAST ONE: A NOVEL Greenwich Library 101 W. Putnam Avenue, Greenwich, CT Free and Open to the Public The Greenwich Library and Just Books are thrilled to welcome Pulitzer Prize-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author Anna Quindlen to the Greenwich Library as she introduces her new novel, Every Last One (Random House, April 13, 2010, $26). In her newest novel, Anna Quindlen creates an unforgettable portrait of a mother, father, a family, and the explosive, violent consequences of what seem like inconsequential actions. Every Last One is a novel about facing every last one of the things we fear most, about finding ways to navigate a road we never intended to travel, to live a life we never dreamed we'd have to live but must be brave enough to try. Quindlen is the author of five bestselling novels: Rise and Shine, Blessings, Object Lessons, One True Thing, Black and Blue; and six nonfiction books: Being Perfect, Loud & Clear, A Short Guide to a Happy Life, Living Out Loud, Thinking Out Loud, and How Reading Changed My Life. She has also written two children's books: The Tree That Came to Stay and Happily Ever After. Her New York Times column "Public and Private" won the Pulitzer Prize in 1992. She also writes a column for Newsweek. _______________________________________________________ Author Talk & Book Signing WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 7PM SHERI KOONES PREFABULOUS + SUSTAINABLE: BUILDING AND CUSTOMIZING AN AFFORDABLE ENERGY EFFICIENT HOME Just Books 28 Arcadia Road, Old Greenwich, CT $25 includes event & book; Reservations required: 203-637-0707 Just Books welcomes award-winning Greenwich author Sheri Koones and experts on modular home construction, Dave Wrocklage of Epoch Homes, and Jim Hines, a local builder, as they talk about aspects of prefab construction and how to build it "green."
