Friday, May 12
6:00pm Marianne Leone – Ma Speaks Up. Marianne Leone’s Ma is in many senses a larger than life character, one who might be capable, even from the afterlife, of shattering expectations (and glass picture frames). The stories she tells will speak to anyone who has struggled with outsider status in any form, and of course to mothers and their blemished, cherished, girls. Located at I AM Books, 189 North Street.
