Head of Falls
November 15, 2016, 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Free
Join us for a book release party as Earl H. Smith reads from his new book Head of Falls, which has already received some glowing reviews!
Earl Smith is a consummate storyteller. With a discerning eye, he has captured the wonder of the mid-1950s and the warmth of the Lebanese-American neighborhood where I grew up in an evocative, poignant, and often amusing tale that reflects the generosity of the human spirit and the optimistic nature of America’s immigrants. It is a great read. — Senator George J. Mitchell
I had tears in my eyes at the end of this book, an inspiring, remarkable, and very thoughtful story in the voice of a wonderful young girl, a very timely tale of the way life should be, the way we wish life could be, for all of us. — George Smith, Maine Author and Columnist
As part of the entertainment, Colby College a capella group, The Megalomaniacs, will perform.
Light refreshments will be served. Books will be available for purchase thanks to Children's Book Cellar.
