SUMMARY:Sibyls to Appear at Summer Book Fair at San Jose Woman’s Club
DESCRIPTION:LOTS OF SUMMER FUN! Join Sibylline Authors Pamela Reitman, Samantha Rose, and Karen Nelson at “Chill Out & Read” sponsored by the San Jose Woman’s Club and the Women’s National Book Association.  And displaying quality art prints of Charlotte’s paintings. There will be panels and readings, door prizes, performances and more.\nBooks will be available to purchase at the event.\nThe event is free but RSVP requested through eventbrite here.\nAbout Charlotte Salomon Paints Her Life:\nInspired by the life and work of a young German-Jewish art student\nWhen Charlotte Salomon attends the Berlin Art Academy, her First Place art contest prize is denied because she is a Jew, and following that humiliation, her enrollment is annulled. After Kristallnacht, she is sent from Berlin into exile on the Cote d’Azur, where she embarks on the making of her masterpiece, “Life? Or Theater?” Haunted by the encroaching terror of the Third Reich and the threat of psychological disintegration, alone and without identity papers, Charlotte clings to her determination to become a serious modernist painter, to complete her monumental work and get it into the hands of safekeeping in a race against time before capture by the Nazis.\nAbout Pamela Reitman:\nPamela Reitman is an award-winning writer with numerous publications in literary journals, news outlets, and magazines. She has a B.A cum laude in English from Columbia and an MPH from the University of California Berkeley. She is retired from a career in public health and community service aimed at reducing the stigma of mental illness. Ms. Reitman was a past Director of Makor Or: A Jewish Meditation Center in San Francisco. She is lay ordained in the Soto Zen Buddhist tradition. She lives in Healdsburg, California with her husband.\nAbout Giving Up the Ghost:\nSamantha Rose, a New York Times best-selling ghostwriter, steps out of the shadows to unravel the mystery surrounding her mother’s suicide. What begins as a solitary journey of grief shifts form when her mother emerges from the darkness beyond to reconcile her irreversible choice. Raw, resilient, and with surprising humor, Giving Up the Ghost explores the layered complexity of mental health, the love between mothers and daughters and how, in the aftermath of inconceivable loss, we can release our inner ghosts and write a new story for ourselves.\nAbout Samantha Rose:\nSamantha Rose is an Emmy-award winning television writer and author of The Package Deal: My (not-so) Glamorous Transition from Single Gal to Instant Mom that premiered on the San Francisco Chronicle Bestseller List. Additionally, she’s a New York Times and internationally bestselling ghostwriter who collaborates with celebrities, experts, entrepreneurs and industry leaders who represent a wide category of titles, including some that have been selected as Reese’s Book Club Picks and excerpted in the WSJ, Time.com and Harper’s Bazaar. She is the principal of YellowSkyMedia, a boutique editorial agency in Petaluma, California, where she lives with her son.\nAbout The Sunken Town:\nIf you admit on truth, what else will you have to acknowledge?\nLindsay, a thirty-year-old California native, never gave much thought to being adopted. When she unexpectedly inherits her birth mother Claire’s farmhouse in Maine, she is plunged into a journey across the country and across the years into a lake of secrets that will ultimately reveal just how far everyone was willing to go to protect her. Told from both Lindsay’s and Claire’s points of view, The Sunken Town explores adoption, identity, the nature of family dynamics, mother-daughter relationships, the impact of family secrets, the weight of motherhood and the lasting consequences of the choices people make.\nAbout Karen Nelson:\nKaren Nelson is a writer and the co-founder of the nonprofit Writing by Writers. During her long career in nonprofits, she has protected open space, funded cancer research, trained people to complete endurance events, and helped writers bring their work into the world. When not organizing writing workshops, she can be found hiking with her dog, reading traveling, experimenting in the kitchen, and hosting dinner parties.\n
