The new Maddie Dawson is coming and there is a reading at the New Haven Lawn Club

The new book by none other than Maddie Dawson is coming out April 8, and she is reading from it

at 7 p.m. April 9 at the New Haven Lawn Club.

 

There will be wine and cheese and "stuff like that," and a reusing from the first chapter from "The Opposite of Maybe," "which is about how Rosie Kelley ended up being pregnant at the age of 44," according to a release.

"It’s a funny/sad look at what happens when your life goes off the rails and all the crazy things you might have to do to find out how to get it back on track again," the release said. "It’s got love, teacups, heartbreak, elderly relatives behaving badly, obsession, friendship..."

 

"Kirkus and Publishers Weekly both gave it their stamp of approval with great reviews, with Kirkus calling it 'delightfully witty… A messy, funny, surprising story of second chances,'” the release said.

 

Those who will attend should let the folks at R. J. Julia Booksellers know, as they are the sponsors of this event. Call them at (203) 245-3959 to reserve your space. This event is free and open to everyone, a good head count is needed, the release said.
