The CM Performing Arts Center is thrilled to announce an exciting free book signing event on Thursday, January 30, at 7:00 PM with acclaimed award-winning journalist Sam Desmond. Desmond, a longtime contributor to the Suffolk County News, has been writing for the publication since 2019, covering the vibrant communities of Oakdale, Sayville, West Sayville, Bayport, Blue Point, Oakdale, and Bohemia. Come hear excerpts from the book read aloud by Desmond herself, plus get a chance to meet the author and get your copy signed. Books will be available for purchase. “In the Light of Men” is her first art novella, which took over 11 years to finalize and draws from the vast inspiration in her articles, friendships, and loves developed and cultivated from the dynamic and dedicated people she has been honored to cover as a writer.
About the Book:
Belén Aguilar has spent her life dreaming of British lineage and family prestige. In marrying Patrick Stratton-Delaney, she moves to his idyllic town of Carel, where she becomes a reporter for the local paper. Carel, located on the south shore of Long Island and a 90 minute train ride to Manhattan, becomes the almost-English-countryside home of her dreams. Euphoric over painting and highlighting the tight-knit community’s stories, Belén internally struggles with her self-deprecation and machinations of being sub-par for Carel. In her stories and dalliances, she seeks to be in the light of men to outshine her self-doubt.
