SUMMARY:Karie Fugett in Conversation with Frye Gaillard\, May 10\, 5:30 p.m.\, The Haunted Book Shop
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate with Karie Fugett for the release of her stunning debut memoir\, “Alive Day\,” on May 10\, 2025\, at 5:30PM. Fugett will be in conversation with Frye Gaillard\, Alabama Writers Hall of Fame inductee. Karie and Frye will dive into the narrative of “Alive Day\,” a story so timely and monumental\, it belongs on the top of TBR lists nationwide. \n“Alive Day” captures the harrowing and transformative journey of a young couple\, Karie and Cleve\, beginning with a simple proposal in a Kmart parking lot\, which vaults into the challenging world of severe injury and addiction following Cleve’s return from Iraq. As Karie assumes the role of caregiver while grappling with the maze of Veterans Affairs and medical bureaucracy\, the story reveals the stark realities faced by those left to tend the wounds of war on the home front. Fugett’s writing—tender\, vivid\, and imbued with dark humor—paints an indelible picture of love\, resilience\, and survival\, offering a stark critique of the personal costs of national conflict. \nJoin us as we raise a toast to Karie and the bravery her storytelling shows in this Kirkus star-reviewed memoir\, and one that Library Journal describes as “An essential and unique memoir that should be read by those wanting a better understanding of military families’ difficulties and the ramifications of sending loved ones to war.” \nPurchase of “Alive Day” through The Haunted Book Shop is required to attend. Event will feature light refreshments\, in-conversation with Frye Gaillard\, and a photo-op and signing line. \nReserve your spot today.

SUMMARY:Tuesday\, May 13\, at 5:30pm at The NewSouth Bookstore: Miranda Spivack joins us for talk about Backroom Deals in Our Backyards
DESCRIPTION:Miranda S. Spivack\, an award-winning journalist\, is our special guest on Tuesday\, May 13 at 5:30pm\, in conversation with social justice advocate Patricia Todd\, a former Alabama legislator. Spivack’s new book\, Backroom Deals in Our Backyards\, is a groundbreaking look at how ordinary people are fighting back against their local and state governments to keep their communities safe. Spivack’s revealing take on a hidden dimension of American politics will outrage and educate anyone who cares about the forces shaping their own communities. Says Linda Greenhouse at Yale University\, “Spivack not only demonstrates how government secrecy threatens democracy. She shows us how ordinary people can fight to make local government more transparent. This eye–opening and meticulously reported book is both a call to action and a road map for success.” Come be enlightened and inspired.
