New Slacker: Any title by Ann Hood

August through October 2011

The next Slacker will feature an author’s entire collection. We’ll be ordering multiple copies of books by Ann Hood and putting them on the Slacker display in preparation for her visit to our library in October.  She will be the featured speaker at our annual Book Group Night on Wednesday, October 12,  so we would like to give people a couple of months to familiarize themselves with her work.
Ann Hood is the author of the bestselling novels THE RED THREAD, THE KNITTING CIRCLE and SOMEWHERE OFF THE COAST OF MAINE. Her memoir, COMFORT: A JOURNEY THROUGH GRIEF, in which she shares her personal story of losing her 5 year old daughter Grace in 2002, was a New York Times Editor’s Choice and named one of the top 10 non-fiction books of 2008. She lives in Providence, Rhode Island.
