You Were Always Mom's Favorite!

The New York Times bestselling author of You Just Don't Understand and You're Wearing THAT? has written yet another groundbreaking book, this time exploring the powerful and perplexing relationship between sisters. Renowned for illuminating the way we communicate - and revolutionizing relationships in the process - Tannen shares insights and anecdotes from more than one hundred women she interviewed, along with moving and funny recollections of her own two sisters.



Bundle of Trouble RICHARD RUSSO will read from
That Old Cape Magic
Friday, October 9 at 7 PM

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Mohawk, The Risk Pool, and Nobody’s Fool will read from his wryly funny novel of deep introspection and family emotion. That Old Cape Magic, Russo's follow-up to Bridge of Sighs, features Jack, a middle-aged man confronting his parents and their failed marriage, his own troubled one, his daughter's new life and finally, what it is he thought he wanted and what in fact he has.

"...an impressively expansive analysis of familial dynamics between not only spouses but also in-laws, parents, and children."—Booklist
