Artistic Freedom, Legacy & the Women Who Burn Brightest – Fiction

Amy Jo Burns’ Wait for Me: A Novel chronicles the bond between two female folk singers and the love stories that haunt them. In 1973, Elle vanishes after the biggest performance of her life. Almost two decades later, 18-year-old Marijohn discovers a piece of Elle’s past after a meteor strike, forcing her to confront the truth about her disappearance – and her own music, identity, and ability to love. In Skylark: A Novel, Paula McLain intertwines a woman’s quest for artistic freedom and her struggle to save her father in 1664 with a doctor’s efforts to save his Jewish neighbors during the German occupation in the 1940s. Their parallel journeys of defiance and rescue connect in ways both surprising and deeply moving. Moderating is bestselling author Jenna Blum, Murder Your Darlings: A Novel.
