MARY PIPHER
Tuesday, July 2, 7:30 p.m.

Over the past decade, with books such as Reviving Ophelia and Another Country, MARY PIPHER has helped us to understand our immediate family members. Now, Pipher connects us with our greater family—the human family. In cities and towns all over the country, refugees arrive daily. Lost Boys from Sudan, survivors from Kosovo, families fleeing Afghanistan and Vietnam: their endurance in the face of tragedy and their ability to hold on to the essential virtues of family, love, and joy are a tonic for Americans who are now facing crises at home. Their stories will give readers a deeper understanding of the wider world in which we live. The Middle of Everywhere (Harcourt, $25.00) moves beyond the headlines, into the hearts and homes of refugees from around the world.

SUSAN CHERNAK MCELROY
Wednesday, July 17, 7:30 p.m.

In her bestselling Animals as Teachers and Healers, author and animal advocate SUSAN CHERNAK MCELROY shared how her animal companions sustained her through her battle with advanced cancer. Heart in the Wild (Ballantine, $24.95) describes how animals—wild animals this time—once again provided the guidance that helped McElroy heal and grow when a fire ravaged her mountain home and reduced her emotional security to ashes. Writing with a passionate love and respect for the natural world, she invites us to walk with her along the path that leads through transformation into wholeness. The rattlesnake coiled inches from her hand, the broken-winged hummingbird who sat on her finger and drank sugar water, the red fox and his Saint Bernard playmate—each becomes an incarnation of life-sustaining powers, teaching us better, healthier ways of being in the world. McElroy demonstrates rich insights that come from her animal kin—animals in the wild and those in the inner world of dreams and visions. It was the magnificent bull elk who ventured into McElroy’s world each day and reappeared in her dreams at night that led her on her most inspirited soul journey through homelessness, divorce, and the deep sense of disengagement that she had felt since cancer had tried to evict her from her body twelve years before. A powerful, beautifully written story of one woman’s journey of personal transition to a genuine sense of belonging in the world, Heart in the Wild conveys a heartfelt sense of home on earth, a place big enough to welcome all life.

CHILDREN’S SUMMER READING PROGRAM

Boulder Book Store has once again teamed up with Ben & Jerry’s in Boulder to bring elementary school aged children (grades 1-5) our SUMMER READING PROGRAM!

Here’s how it works:

• Read an age-appropriate chapter book (no picture books, please).
• Write a short (50-100 word) book report and turn it in to get a certificate for a free Ben & Jerry’s ice cream cone!

We will post the best reports in the store, and use them as recommendations for other children of the same age. Books need not be purchased at Boulder Book Store. The program will run from June 1 through August 30, 2002.
