Then you may be in luck.

 

On May 26 The Friends of the Fairfield Public Library will hold its 2^nd Annual Ladies' Literary Luncheon with special guest, Kelly Corrigan. 

 

Corrigan is the best-selling author of "The Middle Place" and "Lift", the former a memoir of the author's fight with cancer, and the later, a letter penned to her two young daughters about their particular relationship and parenthood in general.  Both the hardcover and paperback versions of Corrigan's first book, "The Middle Place," spent numerous weeks on the New York Times Bestsellers List, and in March, 2010, her second book, "Lift", was No. 2 on the paper's list for Hardcover Non-Fiction Bestsellers.

 

The luncheon, a fundraiser for the Friends, will take place from noon to 2 p.m.  at The Patterson Club in Fairfield, and Corrigan will be speaking to a sold-out crowd of 240 women. 

The Friends will have copies of The Middle Place and Lift for sale, and there will be a book signing following the luncheon.  In addition, the Friends will have an array of themed baskets to be raffled during the event.
