Sena Jeter Naslund has 2 past events. (show)
Book Signing Sena Jeter Naslund reads from Adam & Eve. Laguna Beach Books is pleased to welcome Sena Jeter Naslund, author of Adam & Eve. Sena will read an excerpt from her book, answer questions, and sign books. There is no charge for this event. What happened to Eden? The New York Times-bestselling author of Ahab's Wife, Four Spirits, and Abundance returns with an audacious and provocative novel that envisions a world where science and faith contend for the allegiance of a new Adam & Eve. Set against the searing debate between evolutionists and creationists, Adam & Eve expands the definition of a "sacred book," and suggests that true madness lies in wars and violence fueled by all religious literalism and intolerance. A thriller, a romance, an adventure, and an idyll, Adam & Eve is a tour de force by a master contemporary storyteller.
