Michele will be talking about her new book Still Going It Alone, which addresses issues common to women who have been at the task of single parenting. These unique women now face the prospect of sending their children off to college, to a distant career site, or to be married and must continue to fulfill their ever-altering parental role. Moms with grown children also realize the need for wise financial planning and career re-assessment. Each single mom understands they may never re-marry, that growing old and retiring alone is a very real possibility. For many, the future looms in uncertainty.
Barbara Mahler is a practitioner of traditional oriental medicine with a passion for healing and storytelling. The tragic 9/11 events and the death of one of Mahler’s closest clients prompted her to write about the healing power of love and the beauty of the human spirit.
The Hole in the Sky, the first book of a trilogy, is a children’s adventure story about Kaela Neuleaf, a 13-year-old girl who longs for a magical life after the loss of her mother. An unusual visitor leads Kaela and her cousin on a fantastical journey to a cursed land where they find beauty, adventure, strange and magical friends, and deadly enemies. The key that unlocks the curse lies hidden in the mystical butterfly breath, but to uncover it, Kaela has to overcome her grief and face her deepest fears before time runs out.
Mahler has worked extensively with cancer patients and is consistently touched by kindness and strength of the human spirit. She divides her time between her homes in Boulder, CO and Malibu, CA.
