Author Julie Halpern at Warren Newport Public Library

Meet author Julie Halpern and hear about Maternity Leave, her first adult novel.

In this newly released novel, thirty six year old Annie is a a middle school teacher on maternity leave - a time she imagined as uninterrupted, blissful bonding with her baby. Instead she is dealing with her body leaking from every possible orifice, a non-sleeping baby, a husband who still wants to have sex with her, clueless single friends, and a mother who picked now to take a vacation.

Julie Halpern is the author of five young adult novels and one picture book for young readers. Maternity Leave is her first novel for adults.

There will be a book signing following the program with books provided by lake Forest Book Store.
