SUMMARY:Books & a Brunch with Carol Hoenig
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy brunching while Carol Hoenig discusses her latest novel\, Before She was A Finley. Adele\, a reluctant young journalism student is assigned to “get” a story from a local nursing home where she comes across elderly Grace Finley. Over time\, Grace slowly takes Adele back to the 1930s and subsequent years that follow as she provides bits and pieces that eventually reveal the dark truth as to why she walked out on her family carrying only a guitar and suitcase. Adele knows that the class assignment was simply to write about a local person\, and even though journalists aren’t supposed to be a part of the story\, she cannot shake what she discovered and wants to do more to set the record straight. But is there anyone still alive who would care?” Carol Hoenig is the author of Without Grace\, Of Little Faith and The Author’s Guide to Planning Book Events. Her essays are in a number of anthologies. She is President of Carol Hoenig Publishing Consultant\, co-owner of On the Road Book Events and co-podcaster on Wildflowers Podcast: Books\, Booze and Banter.

SUMMARY:Carol Hoenig and her latest novel\, Before She Was a Finley
DESCRIPTION:“We need more North Country novels like Without Grace\, novels with a keen sense of place.” –North Country Public Radio \n Before She was a Finley answers that call. \n  \n  \n  \nIn Carol Hoenig’s previous novel\, Without Grace\, it is believed that Grace Finley walked out on her husband and two young children to fulfill a selfish dream of becoming a famous singer\, leaving behind rumors and questions among her family and townsfolk in the mountains of Upstate New York. \nNow in Before She Was a Finley\, it is years later when Adele\, a reluctant young journalism student is assigned to “get” a story from a local nursing home where she comes across elderly Grace Finley. Over time\, Grace slowly takes Adele back to the 1930s and subsequent years that follow as she provides bits and pieces that eventually reveal the dark truth as to why she walked out on her family carrying only a guitar and suitcase. Adele knows that the class assignment was simply to write about a local person\, and even though journalists aren’t supposed to be a part of the story\, she cannot shake what she discovered and wants to do more to set the record straight. But is there anyone still alive who would care? \nAbout the Author: \nCarol Hoenig is the author of Without Grace\, Of Little Faith and The Author’s Guide to Planning Book Events. Her essays are in a number of anthologies. She is President of Carol Hoenig Publishing Consultant\, co-owner of On the Road Book Events and co-podcaster on Wildflowers Podcast: Books\, Booze and Banter. She is presently working on another novel…or two. You may find out more about her at Carolhoenig.com. \nCarol will discuss and sign purchased copies of Before She was a Finley. Her backlist titles of Without Grace and Of Little Faith will be available for purchase as well. \n

SUMMARY:Adam Nimoy will be discussing his memoir\, The Most Human: Reconciling with My Father\, Leonard Nimoy
DESCRIPTION:Just in time for father’s day\, Adam Nimoy will be discussing his memoir\,\nThe Most Human: Reconciling with My Father\, Leonard Nimoy\,\nwith author Carol Hoenig.\n  \n \nLiving with Dad was like living with a stranger–as a kid I often had trouble connecting and relating to him. But I was always proud of him.\nMy resentment towards my father kept building through the years. I wasn’t blameless\, I know that now\, but my bitterness blinded me to any thought of my own contribution to the problem.\nI wanted things to be different for my children. I wanted to be the father I never had\, so I coached Maddy’s soccer\, drove Jonah to music lessons\, helped them with their homework–all the things dads are supposed to do. All the things I wanted to do. So what if my Dad and I had been estranged for years? I was living one day at a time.\nAnd then I got his letter.\nThat marked a turning point in our lives\, a moment that cleared the way for a new relationship between us.\n  \nAdam Nimoy will sign purchased copies of The Most Human. Wouldn’t it make a nice Father’s Day gift? \nAdam Nimoy is a graduate of UC Berkeley and Loyola Law School. After seven years in entertainment law\, he left to pursue a directing career. Nimoy has directed over forty-five hours of network television\, as well as directing the critically acclaimed documentary film about his father. For the Love of Spock (2016) was the Official Selection at the Tribeca Film Festival. He was featured in the New York Times article “To Boldly Explore Jewish Roots of Star Trek” and he published a Father’s Day piece about his relationship with his father for the Boston Globe. He is the author of My Incredibly Wonderful\, Miserable Life and has been in 12-step recovery for twenty years. Adam has three children\, a step-son\, a dog and two cats. He lives in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Meet Colm Toibin!
DESCRIPTION:Colm Tóibín is the author of eleven novels\, including the forthcoming Long Island; The Magician\, winner of the Rathbones Folio Prize; The Master\, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; Brooklyn\, winner of the Costa Book Award; The Testament of Mary; and Nora Webster; as well as two story collections and several books of criticism. He is the Irene and Sidney B. Silverman Professor of the Humanities at Columbia University and has been named as the Laureate for Irish Fiction for 2022-2024 by the Arts Council of Ireland. Three times shortlisted for the Booker Prize\, Tóibín lives in Dublin and New York.  \nThe author will be joining us at East Meadow Library to read from and discuss his latest novel\, Long Island. From the beloved\, critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling author comes a spectacularly moving and intense novel of secrecy\, misunderstanding\, and love\, the story of Eilis Lacey\, the complex and enigmatic heroine of Brooklyn\, Tóibín’s most popular work twenty years later. \nEilis Lacey is Irish\, married to Tony Fiorello\, a plumber and one of four Italian American brothers\, all of whom live in neighboring houses on a cul-de-sac in Lindenhurst\, Long Island\, with their wives and children and Tony’s parents\, a huge extended family that lives and works\, eats and plays together. It is the spring of 1976 and Eilis\, now in her forties with two teenage children\, has no one to rely on in this still-new country. Though her ties to Ireland remain stronger than those that hold her to her new land and home\, she has not returned in decades. \nLong Island is about longings unfulfilled\, even unrecognized. The silences in Eilis’ life are thunderous and dangerous\, and there’s no one more deft than Tóibín at giving them language. This is a gorgeous story of a woman alone in a marriage and the deepest bonds she rekindles on her return to the place and people she left behind\, to ways of living and loving she thought she’d lost. Copies of Long Island will be available for purchase.

DESCRIPTION:Carrie Mullins will discuss “The Book of Mothers: How Literature Can Help Us Reinvent Modern Motherhood” with author Carol Hoenig \n \nThis treasure trove for book lovers explores fifteen classic novels with memorable maternal figures\, and examines how our cultural notions of motherhood have been shaped by literature. \nSweet\, supportive\, dependable\, selfless. Long before she had children of her own\, journalist Carrie Mullins knew how mothers should behave. But how? Where did these expectations come from–and\, more importantly\, are they serving the mothers whose lives they shape? Carrie’s suspicion\, later crystallized while raising two small children\, was that our culture’s idealization of motherhood was not only painfully limiting but harmful\, leaving women to cope with impossible standards–standards rarely created by mothers themselves. \nTo discover how we might talk about motherhood in a more realistic\, nuanced\, and inclusive way\, Carrie turned to literature with memorable maternal figures for answers. Moving through the literary canon–from Pride and Prejudice and Little Women to The Great Gatsby\, Beloved\, Heartburn\, and The Joy Luck Club–Carrie traces the origins of our modern mothering experience. By interrogating the influences of politics\, economics\, feminism\, pop culture\, and family life in each text\, she identifies the factors that have shaped our prevailing views of motherhood\, and puts these classics into conversation with the most urgent issues of the day. Who were these literary mothers\, beyond their domestic responsibilities and familial demands? And what lessons do they have for us today–if we choose to listen?  \nBooks will be available for purchase and signing. \nCarrie Mullins is a journalist and essayist whose work has appeared in Parents\, Food & Wine Magazine\, Epicurious\, Tin House\, and Publishers Weekly\, among other publications. She is a former National Editor at the James Beard Award-winning website Serious Eats and a longtime contributor to Electric Literature\, where she covered the intersection of literature and culture.  \nCarol Hoenig writes for Long Island Woman Magazine and is an award-winning novelist whose latest novel\, “Before She Was a Finley” will be published September 10\, 2024.
