Adelia Moore
Being the Grownup: Love, Limits, and the Natural Authority of Parenthood
June 15, 5-7 pm

Live at the Chatham Bookstore!

Please join us for a reading and conversation with Adelia Moore, author of Being the Grownup: Love, Limits, and the Natural Authority of Parenthood.

In her book, Moore helps parents translate their determination to care for and protect their children into the clarity they need to communicate authority with a firm confidence, whether for bedtime, screen-time or mealtime.

“Drawing deeply from the well of her experience as mother, grandmother, and psychotherapist, [Moore] has written a very wise book.” –Carol Gilligan, professor of Humanities and Applied Psychology, NYU

Free. Refreshments will be served.

Stella Elliston
“Quiet Light”
Exhibit: April 26-June 24, 2019

Our second exhibit of oil paintings on canvas by Stella Elliston will open on Friday, April 26. Entitled “Quiet Light,” the show runs through June 24.

Elliston, who lives in Alford, MA, graduated from Ohio University with a BA in English/Fine Arts. Says Elliston, “It has been my good fortune to study with very fine painters in the area who have taught me a great deal about composition, light, shadow, and the poetry that can live in a painting.”

She especially enjoys having her work in cafes and bookstores, where the life of the community thrives. Welcome!
