SUMMARY:Book Signing and Salon: With Lisa Weldon and Twenty Pieces
DESCRIPTION:We’re thrilled to host a very special event with author Lisa Weldon\, celebrating her powerful memoir\, Twenty Pieces. \n\n\n\nTHE EVENTJoin us at Main Street Reads for a free\, open-to-all book signing where you can meet Lisa and grab a signed copy of Twenty Pieces — a beautifully honest memoir of reinvention\, resilience\, and the winding streets of New York City. \n\n\n\nThen\, beginning at 4:00 p.m.\, we’ll transition into an exclusive salon-style discussion with the author\, complete with wine\, special treats\, and thoughtful conversation. Only 20 spots are available (20 people for Twenty Pieces — makes sense\, right?)\, so be sure to reserve quickly! \n\n\n\nBonus: The salon will include a unique activity and some truly fantastic takeaways you won’t want to miss. We can’t wait to see you there and join in this unforgettable afternoon of conversation\, and connection as we share: What is something you’d like to accomplish\, but have always been afraid to do\, or felt insecure about doing? \n\n\n\n\nGrab your SALON tickets HERE!\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book:At 58\, Lisa faced the collapse of her marriage\, home\, and career — but instead of crumbling\, she chose curiosity. A solo month in Manhattan becomes her classroom\, her canvas\, and her catalyst for change. This memoir is raw\, real\, and pulsing with hope — the kind of story that stays with you and begs to be shared. \n\n\n\n\n“Weldon’s journey stands out in the memoir genre by telling the story of a life-changing 30 days rather than a years-long undertaking\, which is likely to inspire readers to be able to take on their own manageable challenges. Weldon’s humor and vulnerability make her someone readers want to root for and allow her to feel like a treasured friend.”  – Booklife / Publishers Weekly \n\n\n\n\nAbout LisaLisa Stapleton Weldon\, a graduate of Auburn University\, has spent a lifetime in advertising in Atlanta. Her hobby? Walking cities and sharing the stories she finds. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt age 58\, Lisa took a month out of her life to learn the new tools of her trade\, social and digital media. She sliced of map of Manhattan into 20 pieces\, with the goal of walking: one piece per day until she covered the entire island. At night she pored over instructional videos and blogged about the neighborhoods she’d walked. The following year she replicated that 30-day journey in Paris\, and has since walked Shanghai\, Istanbul\, and several counties in Central America.  \n\n\n\nHuffPost has featured her walk of Paris on the front cover of the “Living Fearlessly” section. Oprah’s network Harpo Productions invited Lisa to be a guest with Cindy Crawford. She currently contributes travel content for Melissa Gilbert’s Modern Prairie online community. \n\n\n\nHer current project is Blood Sisters\, a story of a forbidden friendship during the Civil Rights Era. Her greatest joys in life? Her three grown children and a brand-new grandson!
