On Tuesday, Sept. 29, from 4 - 5:30 p.m., the Belfast Free Library will host Authors in Conversation: Deborah Shepherd and Elizabeth Garber, on writing memoirs about difficult memories. The program is free and open to all and will take place in the Abbott Room of the Library, 106 High Street.

Shepherd’s new memoir, An Old Main's Darling, was recently released by Heliotrope Books. The memoir examines her first great love, with a man thirty-four years her senior.

Elizabeth W. Garber is the author of Sailing at the Edge of Disaster: A Memoir of a Young Woman’s Daring Year (2022), and Implosion: A Memoir of an Architect’s Daughter (2018). For thirty years, Elizabeth Garber’s writing, in poetry and prose, has focused on the intimacy of closely observed moments and the inner landscapes of memory.
