 MAY-LEE
CHAI & WINBERG CHAI
Monday July 9, 7:30 p.m.
Ruth Tsao Chai was
born in China at the beginning of the 20th
century. She was one of the first women admitted
into a Chinese university in an era when most
women were illiterate and had bound feet, and
further defied tradition by refusing an arranged
marriage. Her intuition kept the family alive
during WWII, and later enabled them to immigrate
to America. MAY-LEE CHAI & WINBERG CHAI tell
her remarkable story in The Girl from Purple
Mountain (Thomas Dunne, $24.95).

MIMI SHANNON
Tuesday July 10, 7:30 p.m.
Self-Love, The
Crown Jewel (Sowelu Press, $16.95) by local
author MIMI SHANNON presents a new paradigm for
self-acceptance. While popular culture measures
our value by outside opinion, self-love brings it
back to home base and into our own discretion;
through this repositioning comes the freedom of
self-determination and the joy of living in
integrity with self.

MUENCH

David Muench, provide us with incredible new
images of Colorado's natural wonders through all

TODD
BALF
Wednesday July 18, 7:30 p.m.
Some say that the
hidden valleys and waterfalls of the Tsangpo
River are the Shangri-La of Tibetan legend. In
its sudden plunge of 10,000 vertical feet through
the Tsangpo Gorge, the river runs off the scale
of technical challenge for kayakers. The Last River (Three Rivers, $13.00) by
TODD BALF is the story of the first attempt by
kayakers to descend the gorge, a feat no less
monumental than Hillary’s first ascent of
Everest.

painful, contagious, virally transmitted
condition of overload, debt, anxiety, and waste
resulting from the dogged pursuit of more. Affluenza (Berrett-Koehler, $24.95),

TOM WELLS

KROUSE
Tuesday July 31, 7:30 p.m.
Each of the
thirteen stories in local author ERIKA
KROUSE’s new collection Come Up and See Me
Sometime (Scribner, $22.00) is underscored
by the timeless, ever-brassy spirit of Mae West,
pop culture’s original Liberated Woman. Ms
West’s uncompromising sass and singleness
stand as both compliment and telling counterpoint
to the diverse array of serious young women we
meet in the book.
