SUMMARY:Alyson Richman - Literary Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Best-selling author Alyson Richman will discuss her latest book\, The Time Keepers\, at the JCC’s Literary Luncheon/Community Read Inaugural Event on Wednesday\, December 18\, at 12:30 PM. \nTwo women from dif­fer­ent worlds\, joined by the love of a child dis­placed by war\, dis­cov­er friend­ship and heal­ing as their lives inter­sect with a mys­te­ri­ous wound­ed Viet­nam vet named Jack. Jack works at the Gold­en Hours — a watch store that mends timepieces — and maybe even mends dam­aged souls. The Time Keep­ers inter­weaves the jour­neys of won­der­ful­ly diverse char­ac­ters that will grip\, fill\, and break your heart — only to bring them togeth­er with the care and pre­ci­sion of an expert watch­mak­er\, one piece at a time. Inspired by the true sto­ry of a Viet­namese refugee who entrust­ed the dra­mat­ic sto­ry of her escape from Viet­nam to the author and also that of a wound­ed vet­er­an\, Rich­man sheds light on the per­son­al sto­ries of those whose lives were for­ev­er impact­ed by the dev­as­ta­tion of war. \nAlyson Rich­man grad­u­at­ed from Welles­ley Col­lege with a degree in art his­to­ry and Japan­ese stud­ies. She is an accom­plished painter\, and her nov­els com­bine her deep love of art\, his­to­ry\, and trav­el. Alyson’s nov­els have been pub­lished in 25 lan­guages and have reached the best­seller lists domes­ti­cal­ly and abroad. She lives on Long Island with her hus­band and two children. \nAnd don’t forget to join us on Wednesdays at the JCC – JCC-U.
