WORD is excited to welcome Victoria Shorr to Brooklyn for a discussion of her new novel Midnight: Three Women at the Hour of Reckoning, which explores the inner lives of Jane Austen, Mary Shelley, and Joan of Arc at pivotal moments in each of their histories.
Midnight is a study in the courage of three women--Jane Austen, Mary Shelley, and Joan of Arc. Jane Austen was poor in 1802, unmarried and homeless. She had outlines, ideas, and first drafts of her future novels but no place to sit and write them. It is at this bleak moment that she receives an offer of marriage from a rich man.

Join us at WORD Brooklyn for a special storytime featuring a musical performance by Benjamin Scheuer, author of the children's book Hibernate With Me.

Benjamin and Jemima will lead an interactive storytime and Benjamin will play "Hibernate With Me" as well as other songs.
ABOUT BENJAMIN SCHEUER
Based on the song of the same name by Benjamin Scheuer, Hibernate with Me is a gentle reminder that no matter how sad, small, or scared you feel, you are always worthy of love, and that brighter days are always ahead.
Sometimes you feel small.

In the iconic film by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, teenaged Marty McFly travels back in time from the 1980s to the 1950s, changing the path of his parents’ destiny . . . as well as his own.
