Friday June 18th at 6PM ~ Author Helen Lambert
-------------------------------------------------
Join us for a visit with Helen Lambert who will be here to discuss her insightful new book, “God’s Waiting Room”. Reaction to Ms. Lambert’s book has been overwhelmingly positive. Readers have described it as, “…Fantastic! So engaging, even I could not put it down.” And, “This book will go a long way to prepare caregivers and loved ones and show them that they are not alone on this frightening journey.”
In her book, Ms. Lambert writes about the “golden” age of seniors, as seen through the eyes of a precocious seven year old
granddaughter, Davi, who meets the elderly people living in her grandparent’s condominium complex. Davi also observes her grandfather’s decline from Alzheimer’s. Her initial reaction is one of fright, but that quickly turns to caring and beneficial
support. This book is a must read for anyone dealing with the elderly and the devastation of dementia and loss.

Friday June 25th Friday Night Live Begins!
• 6PM A Children’s Reading—Celebrity Reader to be Announced Soon. Our Friday Night Live Children’s Readings begin.
• 6:30PM Author Ken McAdams dovetails the Children’s Reading Time to discuss his new book, “Bon Courage”. This wonderful nonfiction adventure is a recollection of the author’s life with his new wife, Marian─ “Bing” Bingham in the French countryside. Upon arrival at La Montagne Noire, a village off the beaten tourist path, Ken and Bing strive to leave their past
baggage behind and begin their new life together while pursuing their individual passions. Ken, a former airline pilot and business executive, writes full time and Bing already an acclaimed artist, finds inspiration in the surrounding lush landscapes and further hones her craft.
In time the village captures their hearts, which leads to them buying into what they thought would be a snug “turn key” village place, which actually works out to be a wreck of a house needing massive renovations. Little did they anticipate what lay at the end of that rainbow. McAdams' recounting of the mishaps and misadventures of their unexpectedly daunting renovation, which even begins to threaten their new marriage, forms the center of the book. Misunderstandings lead to knock downs, but fortunately not knockouts. Picking themselves and their relationship back up, the project ultimately brings Ken and Bing closer to each other and to finding a place in the community they have grown to love.
This book is a charming recollection by the author and one that you won’t want to put down. Come and hear him talk about the making of this book.
