SUMMARY:Author Event: Loretta Ellsworth\, THE JILTED COUNTESS
DESCRIPTION:Come join us to celebrate Loretta Ellsworth’s new release: THE JILTED COUNTESS. Show up at 5 to hear Loretta give a brief talk about the true historical events that inspired the book as well as the research and writing process for the book. Loretta will be signing for the rest of the event\, and we’ll have snacks and drinks as well. \nIn the aftermath of World War II\, a young Hungarian émigré jilted by a G.I. persuades a Midwestern newspaper editor to help her find an American husband in this poignant novel\, based on a true story\, from the author of The French Winemaker’s Daughter. \nThe war stole Roza Meszaros’s dreams of becoming a ballerina and her aristocratic family’s fortune. But the penniless Hungarian countess’s fate takes a hopeful turn when she meets an American soldier named Joe\, who promises to marry her and take her to the States. After two years of waiting to obtain the necessary money and paperwork to emigrate\, Roza finally arrives in Minnesota—and discovers Joe has married someone else. \nDetermined to stay in America\, Roza turns to popular newspaper columnist Cedric Adams to help her find a suitable husband. Sharing Roza’s story and her picture\, Adams makes a special plea to his military readers. The response is overwhelming—nearly 1\,800 World War II veterans bombard the paper’s offices with telegrams\, flowers\, candy\, and cash\, “a world-record” for marriage proposals\, Adams tells Roza. \nLike a 1948 version of The Bachelorette\, Roza ultimately chooses Finn Erickson\, a former soldier and railroad locomotive engineer. Putting aside her romantic ideals\, she and her new husband settle into the small riverside town of Red Wing\, Minnesota. But when Roza unexpectedly runs into her former fiancé\, things quickly become complicated. \nA captivating and unusual tale of love\, loss\, finding yourself\, and creating your destiny\, The Jilted Countess examines the meaning of marriage\, the American dream\, and what it takes to face our demons while searching for happiness.

SUMMARY:Puzzle Swap at Niche Books

Here’s how it works: you bring the puzzles you’re done with (see rules below to make sure they qualify)\, set them out on the swap table\, then look for something you’d like to take home with you! Everyone goes home with a puzzle they haven’t done\, and maybe you make a few puzzler friends along the way. This event is FREE to attend as long as you bring puzzles to swap.\nRules of the swap:\n-Puzzles MUST have all of their pieces. Save the next puzzler the frustration of looking for a piece that doesn’t exist.\n-Puzzles should be in good condition.\n-Take only as many as you bring\n-Puzzles left over at the end of the night will be donated!
