As a former minister, reporter, activist, bohemian, writer and artist, Sam Barry knows a great many things about life - and playing the harmonica. He believes that playing the harmonica can make one more playful, and his book is full of ideas for how to liven up one's life. "We should all stop and smell the roses, but as Sam Barry notes in this cheery and inspiring little book, stopping to make a little music is just as rewarding and much more fun - and you can do it indoors! A wonderful read." |

The Women's National Book Association (WNBA) is a nonprofit organization that promotes reading and supports the role of women in the community of books. After two decades of marriage to a gorgeous Greek man, Italian-American author Davis agrees to move to Greece, where her husband insists he will be happy. The result is her funny and often self-deprecating memoir, Harlot's Sauce: A Memoir of Food, Family, Love, Loss, and Greece. With vivid descriptions of life in modern-day Greece, Davis's book is both a tasty treat and an exhilarating sail on the Hellenic seas through xenophobia, dysfunctional family units, religious ravings, obsessive protocols, political disorder, European football, and fabulous food.
"Neff is a raucous new voice in American Literature."

SAM BARRY will read and discuss
WNBA Writers PATRICIA VOLONAKIS DAVIS and MICHAEL NEFF
Neff will read from Year of the Rhinoceros, his compelling debut novel that explores what went wrong in this country a couple of decades ago, and keeps going wrong even now. Under the presidency of Ronald Reagan, the struggle for America's soul has begun - a trial of conscience and idealism versus idolatry and political dictatorship. Democracy is fading, and two employees in a solitary small agency created by Congress, the Office of Whistleblower Counsel, are determined to save it.
