SUMMARY:Massachusetts Must Read Authors - Michelle Bowdler ('Is Rape A Crime?')
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, November 16 at 7pm\, the Clapp Memorial Library is joining the Tewksbury Public Library in hosting Michelle Bowdler for a presentation on her critically acclaimed book\, Is Rape A Crime?: A Memoir\, An Investigation\, and A Manifesto via Zoom.  The book was named a MUST READ BOOK in the Massachusetts Center of the Book’s Mass Book Awards. It was also longlisted for the National Book Award. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nAbout The Book: Award-winning writer and public health executive Michelle Bowdler’s memoir indicts how sexual violence has been addressed for decades in our society\, asking whether rape is a crime given that it is the least reported major felony\, least successfully prosecuted\, and fewer than 3% of rapists ever spend a day in jail. Cases are closed before they are investigated and DNA evidence sits for years untested and disregarded Rape in this country is not treated as a crime of brutal violence but as a parlor game of he said / she said. It might be laughable if it didn’t work so much of the time. Given all this\, it seems fair to ask whether rape is actually a crime. \nIn 1984\, the Boston Sexual Assault Unit was formed as a result of a series of break-ins and rapes that terrorized the city\, of which Michelle’s own horrific rape was the last. Twenty years later\, after a career of working with victims like herself\, Michelle decides to find out what happened to her case and why she never heard from the police again after one brief interview. An expert blend of memoir and cultural investigation\, Michelle’s story is a rallying cry to reclaim our power and right our world. \nAbout The Author: Michelle Bowdler is the Executive Director of Health & Wellness at Tufts University and\, after graduating from the Harvard School of Public Health\, has worked on social justice issues related to rape for over a decade. Is Rape a Crime? is her first book. She is a recipient of a 2017 Barbara Deming Memorial Award and has been a Fellow at Ragdale and the MacDowell Colony. Bowdler’s writing has been published in the New York Times and her essays “Eventually You Tell Your Kids” and “Babelogue” were nominated for Pushcart Prizes. Learn more about Bowdler HERE.

SUMMARY:Lynne Reeves In Conversation With Lisa Genova
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, November 29 at 7pm\, the Clapp Memorial Library is joining the Tewksbury Public Library in hosting author Lynne Reeves for a discussion of her latest book\, Dangers Of An Ordinary Night\, in conversation with bestselling author Lisa Genova via Zoom. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nAbout The Author: Lynne Reeves (Griffin) is an internationally recognized family counselor\, public speaker\, teacher and writer of fiction and non-fiction.

Learn more about Reeves HERE. \nAbout the Book: The Dangers of an Ordinary Night is an exploration of the explosive family secrets that are often hidden in plain sight. On a chilly fall evening at the prestigious Performing Arts High School of Boston\, best friends Tali Carrington and June Danforth go missing after auditioning for a play. They’re last seen in grainy\, out-of-focus surveillance footage that shows them walking away from the school. Two days later in a town south of Boston\, Tali is found disoriented and traumatized by the ocean’s edge\, while June is pronounced dead at the scene. Tali’s mother\, Nell\, is so bent on protecting her daughter from further emotional harm that she ignores rumors of her husband’s involvement and enlists the help of Cynthia Rawlins\, a reunification therapist with personal insight into the riptide that hides below the surface of every unsuspecting family. Meanwhile\, Detective Fitz Jameson uncovers a criminal undertow involving the high school’s overachieving students\, and finally sees an opportunity for personal redemption from a secret that’s haunted him for years. As Nell\, Cynthia\, and Fitz confront their own contributions to the scandals that beleaguer them\, their lives turn out to be more deeply intertwined than they’d ever imagined. In the end\, they must decide what lengths they’re willing to go to protect the people they love while also saving themselves. \nAbout The Interviewer: Lisa Genova is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels Still Alice\, Left Neglected\, Love Anthony\, Inside the O’Briens\, and Every Note Played. Still Alice was adapted into an Oscar-winning film starring Julianne Moore\, Alec Baldwin\, and Kristen Stewart.
