In celebration, the Essex library will host an author talk with Christopher Shaw Myers. Christopher is the nephew of actor Robert Shaw, the shark-obsessed fisherman Sam Quint in Steven Spielberg’s 1975 blockbuster, Jaws.&nbsp;Christopher will share insights and entertaining tidbits from his book, Robert Shaw: An Actor’s Life on the Set of Jaws and Beyond. For adults and teens.&nbsp;A screening of Jaws&nbsp;will follow the book talk promptly at 3:30 p.m.
This program is free and open to the public at 33 West Avenue, Essex, CT.
Christopher Shaw Myers Chris Myers attended Trinity College, where he double majored in English Literature and Mathematics, and Columbia University, where he received a Master of Business Administration. After a thirty-year career in the hi-tech field, working with companies across the U.S. and Europe, Chris delved deeper into his family’s history to explore the magic that the Shaws cultivated in their lives.&nbsp;
ROBERT SHAW: An Actor’s Life On The Set Of JAWS And Beyond&nbsp;is not your traditional biography. Written in narrative style, it tells the story of actor and writer Robert Shaw—best known as Quint in Jaws—from the perspective of the women who shaped his life.&nbsp;
At its heart are his indomitable mother, who raised five children by herself after her husband committed suicide, and his sister Joanna, a pioneering Cambridge scholar, anti-Apartheid activist, mother of seven, and champion for women’s workplace rights. Their intertwined lives unfold across vivid settings: the Orkney Islands, wartime Cornwall, Apartheid-era South Africa, Broadway and London’s West End, and finally Martha’s Vineyard, where Shaw worked on Jaws and co-wrote the iconic USS Indianapolis monologue.&nbsp;
More than a portrait of a brilliant but polarizing actor, this is a sweeping family saga of strength, survival, and most of all, creativity—an intimate story of perseverance behind one of cinema’s most unforgettable figures.
Jaws When a massive killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach community off Long Island, it's up to the local police chief, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer to hunt the beast down. Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfus, Jaws (1975) is rated PG and has a 2h4m runtime.

What is the true power of stories? Can they heal the jagged edges of a traumatic childhood? Is the cost of telling the story worth the price of the cure?
With her signature blend of sophistication and raw honesty, Grande interrogates how living between two nations, two languages, and two identities has shaped the woman, mother, and writer she has become. Moving from the legacy of violence in her hometown of Iguala, Mexico, to a bittersweet family vacation in Europe spent reconciling her own impoverished past with her children’s world of abundance, she uncovers startling truths about the nature of survival.
Whether being racially profiled in the Arizona borderlands or finding unexpected wisdom from the slugs in her garden, Grande unflinchingly asks: How do we bridge the gap between who we were and who we have become? How do we turn pain into power? When memory threatens to define us, how can we use story to heal while still honoring our boundaries?
Register today for this virtual talk if you identify as a seeker, a dreamer, or “anyone who believes in the enduring, transformative power of finding one’s voice.”
About the Author: Reyna Grande is an award-winning author, motivational speaker, and writing teacher. As a young girl, she crossed the US–Mexico border to join her family in Los Angeles, a harrowing journey chronicled in&nbsp;The Distance Between Us, a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist. Her other books include the novels&nbsp;A Ballad of Love and Glory,&nbsp;Across a Hundred Mountains, and&nbsp;Dancing with Butterflies, the memoirs&nbsp;Migrant Heart,&nbsp;The Distance Between Us: Young Readers&nbsp;Edition, and&nbsp;A Dream Called Home, and&nbsp;the anthology&nbsp;Somewhere We Are Human: Authentic Voices on Migration,&nbsp;Survival, and New Beginnings.

Aug. 27- Stopping, Calming, Resting &amp; Healing… Meditation is often described as having two specific interventions. The first is to stop the “monkey mind,” which refers to our habit energy, fleeting mental perceptions, etc. These thoughts often rule our mind. The second intervention is to develop greater awareness and insight. In this class we learn how to use our meditation &amp; mindfulness skills to bring the qualities of calm, resting and healing into balance and improve our wellbeing and quality of life to experience greater understanding, joy and peace.
