Meet Author Carla Malden

We are thrilled to announce that Carla Malden will be here to read from and sign her memoir, AfterImage, A Brokenhearted Memoir of a Charmed Life on Sunday, May 29th at 3pm. AfterImage delivers a fiercely personal account of Carla and her beloved husband Laurence.  It is the story of the battle they fought against Laurence's cancer and Carla's survival after the loss of that battle and Laurence's death. It offers an alert for an entire generation:  this is not your mother’s widowhood. Carla says:

"AfterImage is, at its core, a love story, as all real stories of loss must be. It is a story not solely about grief. It’s about battling the before and surviving the after, and dabbling in madness along the way. It is about the small moments that constitute a life well-lived. It is in those moments of human connection that we can search for gratitude through grief. 

AfterImage is a story of love more than loss, memory more than sorrow, life more than death. It is a personal story. It's my story."
