Dear Safranim, I'm running this book/author event at my workplace. This program is open to the public. It's free to most librarians in New York State (see details on event page), to students, and to retirees. For all others, it's $10 to register. I'm reading the book right now and it's great. If you have any interest in medical humanities, or just a memoir from a nice Jewish girl from Brooklyn, this could interest you. Any questions, please let me know. Best, Sally
