Courtney Maum in Conversation with Dani Shapiro

Thursday, July 14 @ 6:30 pm
@ Gunn Memorial Library

Register here. 

The Gunn Memorial Library and the Hickory Stick Bookshop are pleased to welcome authors Dani Shapiro and Courtney Maum for a conversation about Maum’s latest book, The Year of the Horses. Maum’s memoir captures a woman’s journey out of depression and the horses that guide her, physically and emotionally, on a new path forward. At the age of thirty-seven, Courtney Maum finds herself in an indoor arena in Connecticut, moments away from stepping back into the saddle. For her, this is not just a riding lesson, but a last-ditch attempt to pull herself back from the brink even though riding is a relic from the past she walked away from. She hasn’t been on or near a horse in over thirty years.       

Dani Shapiro also has a forthcoming novel titled Signal Fires due out this October. Her earlier memoir, Inheritance will be available for purchase at this event.

Seating for this event is limited and registration is required.
