SUMMARY:Author Talk with Lucy Hedrick
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a live author talk with Lucy Hedrick\, author
 of Six Weeks in Reno.\n\nSponsored by the Friends of the Weston Public
 Library.\n\nMore about the book:\nSeptember 27\, 1931. Today my new life
 begins.\nAfter twenty years in a loveless marriage\, Evelyn Henderson will
 do anything to escape her stifling suburban life. She boards a train for
 Reno\, Nevada\, a former frontier town that’s booming thanks to
 “six-weekers”: women from all walks of life who take up residence there
 just long enough to secure an uncontested divorce—a right they don’t
 yet have in their home states. Evelyn settles into the Flying N Ranch and
 soon bonds with her housemates\, most of whom have never ventured this far
 from home—or from societal conventions. The Biggest Little City in the
 World offers a heady taste of freedom for the six-weekers: horseback riding
 in denim and fringe by day and being courted by dance-hall cowboys by
 night. But underneath the glamour are the grim realities of Depression-era
 America\, as well as the devastating consequences of escape. As Evelyn is
 drawn out of her shell by a Hollywood-handsome wrangler and challenged by
 her new friends to reengage with the world in all its heartbreaking
 complexity\, one thing becomes clear: six weeks will change her life
 forever.\nAbout the Author\n\nLucy H. Hedrick is the author of five
 nonfiction works. Six Weeks in Reno is her first novel. Born in Chicago\,
 Lucy attended Goucher College in Maryland\, where she majored in music
 history and sang in the glee club. She has roamed the Eastern Seaboard ever
 since. Marriage brought Lucy to Old Greenwich\, Connecticut. Shortly
 thereafter Lucy gave birth to her son\, Tod. Today\, Lucy lives in
 Sarasota\, Florida\, where she devotes herself to writing women’s
 fiction. She is a member of the National League of American Pen Women\,
 Sisters in Crime—Florida Gulf Coast Chapter\, and Sarasota Fiction
 Writers.\n\n&nbsp\;
