Kate Braestrup
Start: 7:00 pm

Kate Braestrup will be at Wayzata Community Church at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, January 22 to read from, discuss, and sign copies of her new memoir, Marriage and Other Acts of Charity.

This event is part of the Literary Minds author series -- a collaboration between The Bookcase and Wayzata Community Church.

In her award-winning memoir Here If You Need Me, Braestrip won the hearts of readers across the country with her deeply moving and deftly humorous stories of faith, hope, and family. Now, with her inimitable voice and generous spirit, she turns her attention to the subjects of love and commitment in Marriage and Other Acts of Charity.

As a minister, Braestrip regularly performs weddings. She has also, at forty-four, been married twice and widowed once and accordingly has much to say about life after the cemermony. From helping a newlywed couple make amends after their first fight to preparing herself for her second marriage, Braestrup offers her experiences and insights into what it truly means to share your life with someone, from the first kiss to the last straw, for better or for worse.

Gear West & The Bookcase welcome Christopher McDougall

 

Born to RunGear West and The Bookcase are pleased to welcome Christopher McDougall, author of the bestselling book Born to Run.

The event will be on Wednesday, September 15 at 6:30 in the evening at Gear West in Long Lake (1786 West Wayzata Boulevard).

McDougall traveled to Mexico's Copper Canyon to discover the running secrets of the Tarahumara Indians. For centuries, the Tarahumara have practiced techniques that allow them to run hundreds of miles without rest. How do they do it? That's exactly what McDougall wanted to know.

Part cultural anthropology mixed with personal memoir and the history of running,Born to Run is "hilariously funny, weird, and nonstop fun to read. Runners can sink their teeth into it," says Bill Rodgers, a four-time winner of the Boston Marathon.

Christopher McDougall is a former war correspondent for the Associated Press and is now a contributing editor for Men's Health. A three-time National Magazine Award finalist, he has written for Esquire, The New York Times Magazine,Outside, Men's Journal, and New York. He does his own running among the Amish farms around his home in rural Pennsylvania. 

Tickets are $5.00, and are available at either Gear West or The Bookcase. 

This is an event that you won't want to miss!
