From time to time May and I like to pass along events that may be of interest to our readers. We just received an e-mail from Louise Limerick (isn’t that a great name?) in Australia who will be passing through our hemisphere next month - St. Paul to be exact. Her topic of discussion sounds quite relevant. Below is information about the event that she passed along to us:

Louise Limerick was named one of Australia’s Best Young Novelists in 2004 by the Sydney Morning Herald. She is touring the United States meeting with mothers’ groups, libraries and book clubs for the release of her debut novel, Friends & Mothers. Louise will be talking about her journey as a stay-at-home mother and a writer as well as reflecting on some of the themes about motherhood in the book. Friends & Mothers is essentially about the importance of self-realization for women, and the difficult choices that we face as mothers. According to Louise, “There is no right or wrong way to be a mother, but there are lots of choices and lots of expectations. My view is simply that a mother owes it to herself, and her children, to find out who she really is as a person.” Please come along to meet Louise and join in a discussion about motherhood.
