Rosen will discuss and sign his new book What Else But Home: Seven Boys and an American Journey Between the Projects and the Penthouse ($24.95 Public Affairs), the story of his and his family’s “adoption” of five black and Hispanic kids from an impoverished New York neighborhood, and a celebration of the fact that, whatever our differences, baseball and commitment can help us bridge them.

Historic LoDo: Local historian Silvia Pettem will discuss and sign her new book Someone’s Daughter: In Search of Justice for Jane Doe ($22.95 Rowman & Littlefield). In 1954, two college students were hiking along a creek outside of Boulder, Colorado, when they stumbled upon the nude and badly battered body of a young woman strewn on the rocks. Who was this woman? What had happened to her? The initial investigation turned up nothing, and the girl was buried in a local graveyard with a gravestone that read simply “Jane Doe, April 1954, Age About 20 Years.” Decades later, Pettem became determined to find out more about the mysterious victim. This fascinating story explores forensics of both the 1950s and today, as the new search attempts to identify the victim—and the killer. Request a signed copy: books@tatteredcover.com Start: 7:30 pm
Highlands Ranch: Local poet John Maling is a retired physicist who has always loved the mountains, since he first began climbing as a student at Standford University. Maler will read from and sign his new book Have You Ever Held a Mountain? ($23.00 Mile High Press), which features his inspiring poem accompanied by the beautiful photographs of nationally recognized photographer Grant Collier. Maling has created a poem about and around the life of a mountain that touches the very life that bursts from its core to the inhabitants and majestic surroundings. Each line resonates with the spectacular photography. Request a signed copy: books@tatteredcover.com | ||
