Lily Koppel, author of The Red Leather Diary: Reclaiming a Life Through the Pages of a Lost Journal, incorporates her lyrical writing style with the original diary thoughts of a young woman, Florence Howitt. The result is a Depression-era Manhattan fairytale. The diary was found in a dumpster, and the book's author traced the owner to Westport, where she now lives. Both Lily Koppel and Florence Howitt, the subject of the book, will discuss the book and answer questions.
Books will be available for purchase and signing.
