FROM GHOSTS TO A MYSTICAL SAINT WHO BORE THE STIGMATA
Why do bad things happen to good people? This is a question many people have asked. Join award-winning author, Kerriann Flanagan Brosky, best known for her Ghosts of Long Island books, as she speaks about her debut novel, The Medal. Based on a true story, this work of inspirational fiction is for anyone who has been a caretaker, for anyone who has lived through difficult times, and for anyone who has given up on themselves or in their faith. The Medal, a thought-provoking story of one woman’s journey as she navigates life’s heartaches, is sure to resonate with readers of all faiths. Ms. Flanagan Brosky will also discuss the fascinating life of Saint Padre Pio, who plays an important role in this novel. Saturday, Glen Cove Library, 2 p.m.
