Book Launch, February 2025
From Religion to Reason: My Journey was launched on February, 2025 I at the La Jolla Riford Public Library. This event formally introduced the book and celebrated the value of memoir writing. Friends and neighbors came to learn about the book and offer their reflections. Many resonated with the doubts disclosed in my writing. Older readers connected with the events of the last eight decades which influenced my thinking. It was a wonderful opportunity to share the evolution of thoughts and beliefs as well as the wonders of writing, especially memoir writing.
After diving into the pages of the book, we came together to share thoughts and insights, while enjoying delicious cake and refreshing lemonade. It was a delightful way to connect over our shared love for reading and writing.
