Anita Shreve Anita Shreve reads from Rescue. Peter Webster is a rookie paramedic when he pulls a young woman out of a car wreck that should have killed her. Sheila haunts his thoughts, and despite his misgivings, Peter is soon embroiled in an intense love affair. Nineteen years later, Sheila is long gone and Peter is raising their daughter, Rowan, alone—until a phone call from Sheila alters their quiet existence, bringing long-buried questions back to the surface. A story about trespass and forgiveness, secrets and the seismic force of the truth, Rescue is a masterful portrayal of a family trying to understand its own fractured past and begin again. Anita Shreve is the acclaimed author of 15 previous novels, including A Change in Altitude, Testimony, and The Pilot’s Wife, which was an Oprah Book Club selection.

Celebrate our Grand Opening all weekend, June 25-27. Live music, family fun, author signings, enter-to-win prizes and more! (BordersEvents) Anita Shreve for A Change in Altitude Anita Shreve , A Change in Altitude. Author: Anita Shreve began writing fiction while working as a high school teacher. Although one of her first published stories, Past the Island, Drifting, was awarded an O. Henry Prize in 1975, Anita felt she couldn't make a living as a fiction writer so she became a journalist. She traveled to Africa, and spent three years in Kenya, writing articles that appeared in magazines such as Quest, US, and Newsweek. Back in the United States, she turned to raising her children and writing freelance articles for magazines. Anita later expanded two of these articles — both published in The New York Times Magazine — into the nonfiction books: Remaking Motherhood and Women Together, Women Alone. At the same time, Anita also began working on her first novel, Eden Close. With its publication in 1989, she gave up journalism for writing fiction full time, thrilled, as she says, with "the rush of freedom that I could make it up." Since Eden Close, Anita has written eleven other novels: Strange Fits of Passion, Where or When, Resistance, The Weight of Water, The Pilot's Wife, Fortune's Rocks, The Last Time They Met, Sea Glass, All He Ever Wanted, Light on Snow, A Wedding in December and, most recently, Body Surfing. In 1998, Anita received the PEN/L. L. Winship Award and the New England Book Award for fiction. More at www.AnitaShreve.com

Date/Time: Thursday, May 14, 7:00 p.m. Event: Anita Shreve will read from and sign her latest novel, Testimony, in paperback on May 7th. At a New England boarding school, a sex scandal is about to break. Even more shocking than the sexual acts themselves is the fact that they were caught on videotape. A Pandora’s box of revelations, the tape triggers a chorus of voices--those of the men, women, teenagers, and parents involved in the scandal--that details the ways in which lives can be derailed or destroyed in one foolish moment. “Shreve, consummate craftsman and frequent provocateur, is on fire in her latest novel, a mesmerizing read centering on a sex scandal at a prestigious Vermont prep school...Shreve views all of the characters, even the most flawed, with a good deal of compassion, revealing the heartbreaking consequences of a single reckless act.” — Booklist http://www.hachettebookgroup.com/books_9780316059862.htm (OdysseyBookshop)… (more) Anita Shreve, Testimony Anita Shreve , Testimony.
