Monday, Nov 16 at 7 p.m.   Author and historian David Kruh discusses his new book “Little Mister Victory: A Daughter’s Search for the Woman Who Abandoned Her Father on VJ Day’’ co-written by Tina Drzal. The book tells the story of Tina’s decades-long search for the woman who abandoned her father on VJ Day. Using cutting-edge DNA analysis and good-old-fashioned detective work (burrowing into newspaper archives, ecclesiastic and government documents) David and Tina found the mother, along with a surprise; abandoning her newborn baby was not the most shocking act of her life.

No need to bring papyrus and quill, we’ll send out a list after the session.
