READING AND DISCUSSION
OF ALICE BLISS BY LAURA HARRINGTON
APRIL 4, 7:00 − 8:30 p.m.
NANCE ASSEMBLY ROOM
REFRESHMENTS AVAILABLE IN SUPPORT OF RANCHO SANTA FE, HONDURAS
We are very pleased to welcome Laura Harrington, Gloucester author and former GUS parent (Kate Harrington-Rosen ’04),
to read from and discuss her novel Alice Bliss. We invite any interested members of the community to attend. We believe the novel presents a singular sharing opportunity for middle and high school parents and their teens, so we invite interested 7th and 8th grade and high school students to read the book and join the discussion.
In Alice Bliss, Harrington treats with insight and candor a teenager’s first encounters with some mature and challenging life experiences and also her impetuous exploration of some mature behaviors. We urge parents to read and share the book with their sons and daughters.
The book is available at Beverly Farms Book Shop and other local stores.
PRAISE FOR ALICE BLISS
