On April 22 from 4PM until 6PM St. Francis College in Brooklyn Heights will host in its Maroney Theater (7th floor) readings by some of the contributors to Pain and Memory, edited by Anne Whitehouse. Dr. Timothy Houlihan, Academic Dean at St. Francis College had this to say about the book:

“Pain and Memory: Reflections on the Strength of the Human Spirit in Suffering . . . is a remarkable volume filled with small and large treasures. I especially enjoyed Anne Whitehouse’s Rose’s Dream. It captures the unreal nature of sadness after the death of a longtime companion, the enormous will we have to muster in order to bring ourselves through the suffering, and our surprise at finding we have the ability to go on. And Kathie Giorgio brilliantly sums up the way in which a loved one’s death changes our perspective, not just on ourselves, but on size and color and the place in which we live.”
