Join award-winning Star Tribune columnist Gail Rosenblum for an afternoon of laughter and maybe even a few tears. Gail has gathered a collection of her wry observations on a host of experiences ranging from home remodeling and a parent's late-life romance to a child's show-and-tell and the neighborhood book club. You'll love the rawness and honesty of A Hundred Lives Since Then: Essays on Motherhood, Marriage, Mortality and More mixed with her humor and pure "realness". She is beyond 'down to earth' - she is wise, she's witty, and she radiates compassion. Curling up with this book is like sharing a bottle of wine with a girlfriend and tucking into all the joys and heartbreaks and little things that make up a life. Gail has even promised to write an original essay for this event!
