Allen Community Notes: Meet the author, learn the history of Passover
Staff report
Deborah Dove, author of “Wine in my Sippy Cup,” will be holding a book signing from 2 – 4 p.m. Saturday at A Real Bookstore, which is located at 113 Prairie Rd. in Fairview. “Wine in my Sippy Cup” is Dove's debut novel. It follows mom-of-three Liz Cartwright on her quest to rediscover herself after trading in her briefcase for a diaper bag.
“I have been amazed, as well as thrilled and humbled, by the number of women who have said how much they identify with the book and how liberating it has been to realize they are not alone in how they feel about motherhood and marriage,” says Dove.
“Wine in my Sippy Cup” is available in both paperback and Kindle versions through Amazon.com, and in paperback at A Real Bookstore in Fairview.
Rachel Caine – author of more than 30 novels, including the popular Morganville Vampire series – will discusses how her favorite characters were created and give a sneak preview of her upcoming book “Fall of Night” during an appearance at 2:00 p.m. Saturday at the Allen Public Library.
A book signing and photo opportunity will follow the discussion, and books will be available for purchase courtesy of A Real Bookstore.
All ages are welcome and free tickets will be distributed at 1:30 p.m. The library is located at 300 N. Allen Drive. For more information, call 214-509-4906
The history of Passover
Learn about the origins of the Jewish holiday of Passover, known in Hebrew as Pesach, at 7:30 p.m. today at the Allen Public Library. During this free program, the audience will follow the path Moses took through the Sinai desert and get a glimpse of the mountain where he most likely delivered the Ten Commandments.
Allen resident Murray Stein will present stunning photographs of the terrain where Moses most likely led his people. Stein took these photos on a personal research project called “In the Footsteps of Moses.” He will also discuss the Seder and other traditions associated with the holiday.
“[Passover] commemorates the liberation of the Israelite slaves,” Stein said. “It is a celebration of freedom, and as part of the Seder ritual, prayers are given for all people who are still in captivity and cannot enjoy their freedoms.”
