We are excited to announce our next Books with Barb, focused on the December Athena Favorite, Like Mother, Like Mother by Susan Rieger moderated by our Book Buyer, Barb Tankel! Your ticket to the event includes a hardcover copy of the book, which can be picked up at the store anytime before the event, along with wine and light dessert. Limited to 25 participants. ABOUTLIKE MOTHER, LIKE MOTHER: An enthralling novel about three generations of strong-willed women, unknowingly shaped by the secrets buried in their family's past. Lila Pereira is two years old when her angry, abusive father has her mother committed to an asylum. Lila never sees her mother again. Three decades later, having mustered everything she has--brains, charm, talent, blond hair--Lila rises to the pinnacle of American media as the powerful, brilliant executive editor of The Washington Globe. Lila unapologetically prioritizes her career, leaving the rearing of her daughters to her generous husband, Joe. He doesn't mind--until he does. But Grace, their youngest daughter, feels abandoned. She wishes her mother would attend PTA meetings, not White House correspondents' dinners. As she grows up, she cannot shake her resentment. She wants out from under Lila's shadow, yet the more she resists, the more Lila seems to shape her life. Grace becomes a successful reporter, even publishing a bestselling book about her mother. In the process of writing it, she realizes how little she knows about her own family. Did Lila's mother, Grace's grandmother, die in that asylum? Is refusal to look back the only way to create a future? How can you ever be yourself, Grace wonders, if you don't know where you came from? Spanning generations, and populated by complex, unforgettable characters, Like Mother, Like Mother is an exhilarating, portrait of family, marriage, ambition, power, the stories we inherit, and the lies we tell to become the people we believe we're meant to be. ABOUT BARB TANKEL: Barb Tankel has been a bookseller and book buyer with independent bookstores in NY & CT for over 20 years and is an experienced book club moderator. ADDITIONAL DETAILS: To pick up your copy of the book, please come to the store located at 228 Sound Beach Avenue at any time before the event and let the person at the register know you are picking up a copy of Like Mother, Like Mother for Books with Barb.

Once British director Alfred Hitchcock arrived in Hollywood from England in early 1940, he released a string of movie thrillers that made him one of the top directors in cinema. He worked with some top actors, such as Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman in “Notorious,” Grace Kelly and James Stewart in “The Rear Window,” and Henry Fonda in “The Wrong Man.” This was also the period Hitchcock experimented with his movies. He employed surrealist painter Salvador Dali for his “Spellbound” and created “Rope” with one seamless camera shot throughout the entire film. Hitch’s directing style during this period will be explained and demonstrated by showing selected clips from his most influential movies during his middle period.

Athena Books is thrilled to welcome author Jane Costello to the store to launch her new novel, It's Getting Hot in Here! Jane will be joined in conversation by author, publisher and podcaster Zibby Owens. Grab your girlfriends and come celebrate an early Galentine's Day at Athena! Your ticket includes wine, seltzer, light dessert and a copy of the book. Don't miss out on this fun evening of friends, laughter and celebration! About It's Getting Hot in Here: In internationally best-selling, award-winning author Jane Costello’s forthcoming novel Its's Getting Hot in Here (Zibby Books, on sale February 4, 2025), a perimenopausal woman juggling it all is knocked off her feet by the last thing she needs: a suave new man to interrupt her precariously balanced life. But is her newfound flush a hot flash? Or is it just getting hot in here? Lisa Darling, a high-flying TV executive and twice-divorced mother of two, is navigating life with an opinionated teenager and a pet-obsessed grade schooler, organizing PTA events, and supporting her best friend through breast cancer treatment, all while in the throes of perimenopause. It’s no wonder her to-do list is on overdrive and she never has time for pilates or that DIY interior design project she keeps setting aside. But when LA-based media hotshot Zach Russo swoops in as a temporary stand-in for her best friend’s job, Lisa starts feeling overheated and flustered. But that’s just the menopause, right? She chooses to believe her hormone replacement therapy needs some adjusting, until she finds herself in a sexy—and seriously ill-advised—cinch with him. As things snowball, Lisa has to confront these long-forgottenfeelings and ask herself what it is she wants and what it is she’s ready for. Hilarious, relatable, and delightfully swoon-worthy, It’s Getting Hot in Here is the laugh-out-loud, coming-of-middle-age, rom-com meets mom-com readers have been waiting for. About Jane Costello: Jane Costello is a bestselling novelist in the UK. Her first book, Bridesmaids, published in 2008, sold more than a million copies. In 2018, she published You Me Everything under the pseudonym Catherine Isaac. It was translated into 25 languages and movie rights were sold to Lionsgate and Temple Hill. She was born in Liverpool, England, and currently lives there with her husband Mark and three sons. About Zibby Owens: Zibby Owens is the author of Blank: A Novel; Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss and Literature; and children's book Princess Charming. She is also the editor of 3 anthologies.

Please join us for an important conversation with Jim McCloskey, a leader in the innocence movement and one of the authors of Framed: The Astonishing True Stories of Wrongful Convictions, a #1 New York Times Bestseller. Your ticket to the event includes wine, seltzer and light dessert. About Framed: John Grisham is known worldwide for his bestselling novels, but it’s his real-life passion for justice that led to his work with Jim McCloskey of Centurion Ministries, the first organization dedicated to exonerating innocent people who have been wrongly convicted. Together they offer an inside look at the many injustices in our criminal justice system. A fundamental principle of our legal system is a presumption of innocence, but once someone has been found guilty, there is very little room to prove doubt. These ten true stories shed light on Americans who were innocent but found guilty and forced to sacrifice friends, families, and decades of their lives to prison while the guilty parties remained free. In each of the stories, John Grisham and Jim McCloskey recount the dramatic hard-fought battles for exoneration. They take a close look at what leads to wrongful convictions in the first place and the racism, misconduct, flawed testimony, and corruption in the court system that can make them so hard to reverse. Impeccably researched and told with page-turning suspense as only John Grisham can deliver, Framed is the story of winning freedom when the battle already seems lost and the deck is stacked against you. About Jim McCloskey: Jim McCloskey founded Centurion Ministries, the first organization in the world devoted to freeing the wrongly convicted. Since its establishment forty-five years ago, Centurion has freed seventy-one individuals who have collectively spent over 1500 years falsely imprisoned, all of whom spent decades in prison serving life or death sentences for the crimes of others. McCloskey has a Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary. His memoir, When Truth Is All You Have, was published by Doubleday in 2020. Last October Doubleday published Framed, co-written by Jim and John Grisham that tells the astonishing true stories of a few of the more outlandish cases of justice going awry.

We are excited to announce our next Books with Barb, focused on Penitence by Kristin Koval moderated by our Book Buyer, Barb Tankel! Your ticket to the event includes a hardcover copy of the book, which can be picked up at the store anytime before the event, along with wine and light dessert. Limited to 25 participants. ABOUT PENITENCE: For readers of Ann Patchett and Celeste Ng, Penitence is a poignant exploration of love and forgiveness. It's a suspenseful, addictive page-turner filled with literary insight that compels readers to consider whether the worst thing we've ever done is all that defines us. When a shocking murder occurs in the home of Angie and David Sheehan, their lives are shattered. Desperate to defend their family, they turn to small-town lawyer Martine Dumont for help, but Martine isn't just legal counsel--she's also the mother of Angie's first love, Julian, a now-successful New York City criminal defense attorney. As Julian and Angie confront their shared past and long-buried guilt from a tragic accident years ago, they must navigate their own culpability and the unresolved feelings between them. Spanning decades, from the ski slopes of rural Colorado to the streets of pre-9/11 New York City and back again, Kristin Koval's debut novel Penitence is an examination of the complexities of familial loyalty, the journey of redemption, and the profound experience of true forgiveness. ABOUT BARB TANKEL: Barb Tankel has been a bookseller and book buyer with independent bookstores in NY & CT for over 20 years and is an experienced book club moderator.
