Thursday, July 21, 6 pm, Arthur Miller Branch

Sadly, losing one’s life while tending to a Great Lakes lighthouse wasn’t an unusual occurrence. The likelihood of drowning while at sea or becoming injured while on the job ultimately leading to death were somewhat common in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Death by murder, suicide or other unnatural and tragic causes, while rare, are not unheard of.

Join Michigan author Dianna Stampfler for an amalgamation of true crime details, media coverage and historical research which brings the stories to life…despite the deaths of those featured.

Michigan Notable Book award recipient Sarah Zachrich Jeng will be visiting the Civic Center Library to discuss her award-winning novel The Other Me. 

This unpredictable sci-fi thriller begins when a failed artist accidentally opens a door to an alternate reality where she never pursued her dreams and must uncover the forces behind the switch before time runs out. Library Journal calls The Other Me a “page-turner”. CrimeReads says The Other Me is “both a suspenseful psychological thriller and an astute reinvention of the time travel narrative.”

Don’t miss your chance to meet Sarah Zachrich Jeng, who Booklist says is “a writer to watch very closely”! A question-and-answer session will follow a selected reading by the author.  Refreshments will be served and copies of the book will be available for purchase.
