Please join communication/ speaker coach Jezra Kaye for a party and reading to celebrate the release of her book Kicking: Love Poems.

Friday, December 7th @ 7:30 p.m.
Why is it that with everything women have accomplished, we still struggle with our feelings about our bodies? Perhaps it’s because, in our society, body image has become a loaded term.

In FOR KEEPS: Women Tell the Truth About Their Bodies, Growing Older, and Acceptance, twenty-seven gifted authors write personal essays about how body image has colored, changed or enriched their lives…or how life’s events have changed their body image.

With Masha Hamilton, Ellie McGrath, Christine O’Hagan, Abby Frucht, Leora Skolkin-Smith, Sally Terrell, Susanne Dunlap, and Victoria Zackheim
