Lost in the Library: A Story of Patience & Fortitude

Visit us on Saturday, May 13th at 2pm to welcome local children's author Valerie Stokes-Bryant!Valerie is a former school teacher and the loving widow of Willie Bryant, a former LSU Police Sergeant and pastor. She will be doing a story-time in our Childrens section, followed by a book signing."We all have made mistakes, but we must forgive ourselves and others as true Christians. This is the valuable life lesson learned in Smoothing Over the Pudding. This endearing picture book is about a Christian 'cat' family and telling the truth no matter the consequences. Joyce, the mother cat, shows her family the delicious pudding she made for Sunday dessert. She politely asks them not to touch it, and they all agree.&nbsp; But that night Joyce&rsquo;s daughter Jane sneaks into the kitchen while everyone is asleep and eats 3 spoonfuls of the pudding and smoothes it over so no one would notice. This thoughtful and inspiring picture book is essential for children understanding the purpose of telling the truth and being forgiven."

Help us welcome Melinda Walsh as she presents her new book "Outrunning Age: Meeting Midlife with Courage, Compassion, and a Few Blisters"!Melinda will be in the store on Sunday, May 7th at 2pm signing copies, so don't miss out on your chance to get one!"Melinda Walsh started running at the age of 37 as her first marriage was ending. By 55, she'd embraced a new life as a runner, and found love again with a wonderful man. As 60 approached- having never tackled more than a 5k- she set a goal of completing a half marathon.However, no matter how many miles she ran, she couldn't outrun her self-criticism. Fears about not being a 'real runner' and being 'too old' plagued her. As she encountered more than a few setbacks, including a disastrous flood and an unexpected injury, Melinda learned to challenge her self-imposed limitations, build resilience, and come to terms with what it means to grow older, propelling her to not only finish the race, but to finally listen to the voice of self-love.Told with suspense, vulnerability, and humor, Outrunning Age is the inspirational and relatable story of one woman's journey to overcoming the biggest obstacle -herself- in the ultimate race to find courage and self-acceptance."
