SUMMARY:Celebrate the Launch of New Memoir OUTSIDE THE LINES with Author Helen Fremont!
DESCRIPTION:Join author Helen Fremont at Brookline Booksmith on October 8th at 7pm in Brookline, MA to celebrate the release of her new memoir, Outside the Lines! Fremont will discuss her memoir alongside author and journalist Helen Epstein, and a signing will follow.\nBooks will be available to purchase at the event!\nFor more information, please visit Brookline Booksmith’s events page here.\nMore about Outside the Lines:\nA Tale of Love and Complexity\nOutside the Lines is the poignant and intricate story of a secret love affair between two women set in the 1980s. Maddie, a photojournalist from an aristocratic New England family, is ten years older, married, and has two children, while the author, Helen, the daughter of Eastern European immigrants, is an attorney working at a public defender’s office in Boston. Their paths cross in a writing workshop, where the narratives they craft reveal shared histories of family secrets and a deep, albeit perplexing, connection to the Holocaust.\nAs their bond intensifies, Maddie and Helen are forced to confront societal taboos, their own identities, and the fragile dynamics within their families. Their clandestine love unfolds in the shadow of homophobia, adding layers of conflict and concealment. The narrative takes a profound turn when a terminal illness emerges, reshaping the relationships between the two women and their families in unexpected ways. With wit and sensitivity, and in her beautiful style, Fremont delves into the complexities of love, identity, and the courage it takes to defy societal norms.\nAbout Helen Fremont:\nHelen Fremont is the author of the national bestselling memoir After Long Silence. Her second memoir, The Escape Artist, was selected as an “Editor’s Choice” by the New York Times. Her work has appeared in numerous publications, including Prize Stories: The O. Henry Awards, The New York Times, Ploughshares, and The Harvard Review. She has been a teaching fellow at both Bread Loaf and the Radcliffe Institute. She was a Scholar in the Women’s Studies Research Center Scholars Program at Brandeis University, and worked as a public defender in Boston, where she now lives with her wife.\n
