Lisa Williamson Rosenberg and Ann E. Wallace Present Their Latest Works!

Lisa Williamson Rosenberg and Ann E. Wallace will read from and discuss their latest books–Lisa\’s novel Mirror Me, and Ann\’s poetry collection Days of Grace and Silence: A Chronicle of COVID\’s Long Haul–at Secret World Books Saturday, August 9 at 7pm. The authors met in a recent memoir class Secret World co-owner Gayle Brandeis\’ taught through Story Studio Chicago, and will discuss, among other things, writing in different genres!

In Mirror Me, a psychiatric patient’s desperate search for answers reveals peculiar memories and unexpected connections in a twisty and mind-bending novel of love, family, betrayal, and secrets. A.H. Kim, author of A Good Family and Relative Strangers calls it \”taut, nimble, and so compelling that I couldn’t tear my eyes away\” and Diane Marie Brown, author of Black Candle Women writes \”With boldness and grace, Williamson Rosenberg offers a powerful and gripping story of identity, power, and belonging.\”

January Gill O\’Neill, author Glitter Road, calls Days of Grace and Silence an \”evocative new collection\” in which Ann E. Wallace \”delves into the profound question of living deliberately in the midst of a pandemic…These missives are a gentle reminder that poetry is a tool for understanding and empathy, as we craft words as evidence to make sense of our lives.\”

Come celebrate, enjoy, and learn from both of these wonderful authors!
