Author Event at Bear Pond Books ft. Samantha Kolber
Join Bear Pond Books in Stowe, Vermont on Saturday, 12/5 from 1pm to 3pm for a Vermont author meet & greet book signing event! We are excited to welcome Samantha Kolber to promote her debut novel, "What She Stole".
About the Book:
Memory is the girl and the girl, memory. Memory is the story we tell ourselves to hide, or to find, the truth down deep. Sometimes those two stories—the one we tell and the one buried deep—are the same.
Seventeen-year-old Eloise Goldstein is caught shoplifting at the local suburban mall and spends hours waiting for her narcissistic mother to pick her up. As the security guard locks her in a holding room, she sits with nothing to do but “think about her actions.” Alone, repressed memories emerge, bringing her childhood—growing up with a schizophrenic father and depressed mother—into new light.
From the author of the award-winning poetry chapbook Birth of a Daughter comes a lyrical coming-of-age novel about a young woman who struggles to feel loved and find her voice amid a chaotic household. What She Stole explores how Eloise, shaped by the dichotomies of memory and trauma, uses writing, mothering, and bodywork to heal.
About the Author:
Samantha Kolber, MFA is an award-winning poet, pie-baker, publisher, and mother in Montpelier, Vermont. What She Stole is her fiction debut.
