Stepping Stones by Cornelia Cotton
On March 5th Cornelia Cotton will read excerpts from her book Stepping Stones at the Croton Free Library.
Cornelia Cotton was born in the last years of Weimar Germany. Her father was a violinist, her mother a dancer with a Jewish legacy. She saw the first signs of the Nazi movement and witnessed the self-inflicted destruction of a once-civilized society and the multiple losses of family and friends who died or fled Germany. She came to America as a student in 1948, stayed on, married an artist/teacher, raised a family and has lived a life rich in music, art and people. With perfect pitch, Cornelia has composed a colorful collage of memories from the Germany of her childhood and linked them to the adult she has become. She will read excerpts from her recent book, Stepping Stones, which you can purchase on Amazon here.
