Join Velya Janez Urban and Ehris Urban for an interactive book signing. In their book, a kooky, gregarious mother introduces readers to their offbeat Connecticut family. They take readers along a heart wrenching, hilariously honest journey when they move to rural Brazil to run a dairy farm and open an English school. When they follow their hearts to Ponte Nova, an explosion of betrayal leaves them dazed and grieving. Broke and broken, they are forced to return to the United States and navigate their rebirth in a foreclosed 1770 English farmhouse. Activities will include Brazilian trivia with Serenata de Amor candy and choosing quotations from the book for a stay grounded activity.

THIS PROGRAM WILL BE HELD AT NEW MILFORD SENIOR CENTER

40 MAIN STREET, N.M.
