- Location: La Vita Bella Cafe, 471 Main St.
Join Cade North for the signing of the book, "Until Death Do Us Apart."
ABOUT
"Carving out a career in academia and successfully raising two children on her own, Dr. Cade North survived her own long history of romantic mishaps. Living a life packed with unplanned comedy and adventure, Cade developed the ability to turn personal calamities into hilarious tales. Cade North's new book, Until Death Do Us APART, will resonate with anyone who's fumbled through life's absurdities and still managed to stumble into a bright, new day."
'UNTIL DEATH DO US APART' Description:
"A natural disaster, naked fortune telling, a romantic catastrophe, super villains, and poop on slides - just another week in the life of Sloane Noah. Despite always wanting a boring life, this single parent and hapless college professor finds she is a lightning rod for the shocking and comically bizarre.
Based on a true story, this darkly hilarious book chronicles one woman’s tale about learning resilience from misfortune and strength from pain. Nature’s splintered wreckage, laughter, and the carcass of love prove to be the key ingredients for becoming her own hero. This dynamic story will resonate with anyone who’s ever fumbled through life’s absurdities and, somehow, still managed to stumble into a bright, new day."

As a lover of all genres, the most important thing to him is that his music inspires people.

Poetry is an opportunity, it gives us the chance to celebrate and commemorate all the wonderful moments in our lives from the simplest smiles to the most momentous victories. It also enables us to cope in challenging times.
With poetry, we can address our problems, come to terms with them, and work to grow past them. It has the potential to move across the spectrum of human experience in a cathartic and often beautiful way.
Please only read original work.
