Join local Author Maria Termini as she reads from her new book Available Details: Wonder, Adventure and More ! FROM THE AUTHOR: Available Details: Adventure, Wonder and More (Memoir) contains thirty-one stories from my rich life of many varied experiences. I have imagined myself to be reporting live and with all the abundant details at the scene of certain events and times in my life. From an early age, I was gifted with curiosity, imagination and this has led me to many diverse travels and pursuits. Collecting postage stamps and devouring the colorful pages of National Geographic magazines inspired me with a lifelong desire for adventure that would not be dimmed by my lack of money or the demands of single motherhood. I discovered gold at age nine, volunteered to be Lady Godiva at twenty, learned figure skating at fifty, found enchantment in the Boston Public Schools, traveled to Morocco and Sicily with my twin sons, lived in the White Mountain National Forest, did carpentry work in Hawaii, joined the Peace Corps, hiked on the Appalachian Trail and so many other things. In the patchwork quilt of my life the random pieces work harmoniously together in the unfinished art work that is my life and always with wonder, adventure and joy. Tune into this book and be inspired to follow your own dreams. Accessibility Notice : We strive to make our events accessible.
