The following description comes from the event organizer.

S.W. Leicher will be reading from her book, ACTS OF ATONEMENT.

In ACTS OF ATONEMENT, author S.W. Leicher focuses on Serach Gottesman and Paloma Rodriguez, who share a home in Brooklyn and have built a life together. In exchange, each woman made the decision to renounce her past and sever ties with certain family members.  As the novel progresses, the couple’s relationship is tested—by a speech, a death, and an act of violence. Ultimately, Serach and Paloma find strength and healing with the help of old friends and unexpected allies, religious rituals and beliefs, and their unshakable devotion to one another.
