Please join the Friends of the West Stockbridge Library for a fascinating talk with local artist and author, Gail Gelburd, about her book, "The Liberation of Sue Moody", on Friday, 10 April, 6:00 PM at the West Stockbridge Town Hall. The author will read from her book and discuss the extraordinary life of Sue Moody. A young woman living in the early 20th century, Moody hitchhiked across America, rode horses in Wyoming, met Molly Brown, and sought a career as a journalist. She lived with her small child in Paris surviving bombings and starvation as WWII broke out.

Ms. Gelburd spent months going through forgotten boxes left behind in an abandoned home in rural Massachusetts. She was inspired to transform Moody’s lost letters, writings, and newspaper clippings into a first-person fictional narrative. The book portrays a courageous and creative woman determined to write her own story.

A reception and book signing will follow the talk.
