The Next Feast...
Donna Thornton, Susan Middleton and Cliff Ellis
author of "CLASS Holiday Moveable Feast!" at The Village House, Litchfield.
"Continuing the "giving" tradition, CLASS and My Sister's Books will host a lovely luncheon around The Village House's holiday tree, loaded with literary giveaways. This year two of our featured speakers are recent CLASS Publishing authors: Donna Thornton, whose long-favorite children's book ("The Christmas Donkey") is to be cherished for telling The Story from a new perspective, and Susan Middleton, debut author of "Under the Circumstances," the heartwarming tale of a gutsy teenage mother in 1920s Georgia whose triumph over obstacles to make a good life for herself and her baby will have you cheering. In "Life's a Dance," Cliff Ellis, four-time Basketball Hall of Fame Coach and one of the winningest coaches in Division I history, shares his philosophies, challenges, and triumphs throughout his career as a former rock 'n' roll star and basketball coach, giving readers a unique perspective into the very heart and mind of an incredible leader. Ellis was willing to give up his career to protect his players and his team and fight for equality within the game. Whether you are a sports enthusiast, a business professional, or the grandparent of one, come dance with Coach Ellis on his inspiring journey."
