Circling My Mother

Monday, August 27, 2007

In her latest book, writer Mary Gordon describes the most important woman in her life: her mother, Anna. A widow and single parent, she lived to the age of 94 despite struggles with poverty, polio, depression, alcoholism, and senile dementia, inspiring her daughter with her strength and determination.

Mary Gordon will be reading tonight at 7 pm at Barnes and Noble Lincoln Center, 1972 Broadway at 66th Street.
