In addition, Del Rios meticulously digitizes her paintings at a high resolution and prepares limited edition giclee prints.

Award-winning author Rea Frey will sign copies of her women’s fiction novel THE OTHER YEAR as part of a national book tour, and is joined by local best-selling author Vanessa Lillie (LITTLE VOICES, FOR THE BEST, BLOOD SISTERS).

Can the entire course of a life be traced back to a single moment? On a coveted two-week beach vacation, working mom Kate Baker’s nine-year-old daughter, Olivia, vanishes suddenly among the waves—a heart-dropping incident that threatens to uproot her entire reality. But in the next moment, Olivia resurfaces, joyously splashing. What would I do if she didn’t come up? Kate wonders. How would I live without her?

“Intriguing, thought-provoking . . . Rea Frey breathes life into universal themes concerning love, family, parenthood, forgiveness, grief, and second chances.” writes, THE NEW YORK JOURNAL OF BOOKS.

To me, community and connection are so very important and I am always looking for ways to grow and expand my perspective.

I have become humbled by Dr. Wayne Dyer’s interpretation and implementation of Lao Tzu’s “Tao Te Ching”. In his book, “CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS – CHANGE YOUR LIFE”, where he recites each one of the 81 verses with insight and then practical modern day actions he calls, “Do the Tao, now”.

Ink Fish Books is proud to be a partner bookstore for this free community event with Barrington Land Conservation Trust featuring Elizabeth Rush — author of the new book “The Quickening: Creation and Community at the Ends of the Earth.” A Pulitzer Prize-finalist, author Elizabeth Rush tackles three daunting topics in her new book: Antarctica, climate change, and motherhood.

In 2019, fifty-seven scientists and crew set out onboard the research vessel “Nathaniel B. Palmer.” Their destination: Thwaites Glacier. Their goal: to learn as much as possible about this mysterious place, never before visited by humans, and believed to be both rapidly deteriorating and capable of making a catastrophic impact on global sea-level rise.

In “The Quickening,” Elizabeth Rush documents their voyage. What emerges is a new kind of Antarctica story, one preoccupied not with flag planting but with the collective and challenging work of imagining a better future. With understanding the language of a continent where humans have only been present for two centuries. With the contributions and concerns of women, who were largely excluded from voyages until the last few decades, and of crew members of color, whose labor has often gone unrecognized. “The Quickening” teems with their voices—with the colorful stories and personalities of Rush’s shipmates—in a thrilling chorus.
