October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Mo

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and we are pleased to welcome Leslie Coplin, LCSW, outreach, engagement, and training coordinator, YWCA Greenwich, who will lead us in a discussion of Something Wild, by Hanna Halperin, on Wednesday, October 4, at 7 pm in the Youth Services Program Room, Radcliffe Children’s Library, Perrot Memorial Library.

Told in alternating perspectives that deftly interweave past and present, Something Wild is a magnetic, unflinching portrait of the bond between sisters, as well as a psychologically acute exploration of the legacy of divorce, the ways trauma reverberates over generations, and how it might be possible to overcome the past.

Copies of the book will be available for checkout at our Circulation Desk and through our catalog.
