SUMMARY:Author Event & Book Release: Helen Batchelder -  'Up on End and Spinning'
DESCRIPTION:Come enjoy a late afternoon treat at Fivesparks! Tasteful goodies\, iced teas\, and a book reading — who could ask for more? \nAuthor Helen Batchelder is a lifetime resident of Harvard\, Massachusetts\, recently “removed” to southwest of Worcester. \nThis event heralds the release of her novel\, Up on End and Spinning\, diving into the breadth of effects families have on our later relationships as experienced by Sarah Hartford\, daughter of Margaret\, famous poet and activist. \nBatchelder explores psychology\, philosophy\, gendered perceptions\, and New England culture in the last 25 years of the 20th century. It’s not dystopian\, science fiction\, or action adventure. It’s literary fiction with a touch of mystery\, a story of loss and regret\, rage and change\, love and persistence — and learning to believe in oneself. \nSegments of the book will be read\, allowing for audience discussion. \nBatchelder has served as an historian\, lecturer\, lay sermon writer\, teacher\, and more. She is a poet\, song writer\, and vocalist. \nThe book will be available for purchase\, and is available through Amazon. \nFREE and open to the public.
