Kate Braestrup will be at Wayzata Community Church at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, January 22 to read from, discuss, and sign copies of her new memoir, Marriage and Other Acts of Charity. This event is part of the Literary Minds author series -- a collaboration between The Bookcase and Wayzata Community Church. In her award-winning memoir Here If You Need Me, Braestrip won the hearts of readers across the country with her deeply moving and deftly humorous stories of faith, hope, and family. Now, with her inimitable voice and generous spirit, she turns her attention to the subjects of love and commitment in Marriage and Other Acts of Charity. As a minister, Braestrip regularly performs weddings. She has also, at forty-four, been married twice and widowed once and accordingly has much to say about life after the cemermony. From helping a newlywed couple make amends after their first fight to preparing herself for her second marriage, Braestrup offers her experiences and insights into what it truly means to share your life with someone, from the first kiss to the last straw, for better or for worse. | 23
