Gina Welch - In The Land Of The Believers
Start: 1:00 pm
A secular Jew, Welch spent two years as a member of Jerry Falwell’s Thomas Road Baptist Church attempting to understand the evangelical world. Immersed in the music, vision, and missionary ventures of these impassioned believers, Welch dropped her initial skepticism. Her compassionate portrait includes the recognition that the congregation met needs she hadn’t known she had.
Helen Simonson - Major Pettigrew's Last Stand
Start: 6:00 pm
Simonson’s debut novel focuses on Ernest Pettigrew, the epitome of the staid, dutiful Englishman, and his efforts to reunite a pair of heirloom shotguns. Meanwhile, his friendship with a local shopkeeper unexpectedly blossoms into something more. Herself British-born and educated at the London School of Economics, Simonson (a two-decade D.C. resident) offers a delightful tour of British traditions and recent changes.
