Each song becomes a catalyst for exploring the meaning of the books and how their messages can resonate and enrich your everyday life. “The Heart-Dreamer Experience” will also take you behind the scenes of the audiobook creation process, showcasing how fresh ideas and creative inspirations led to an innovative abridged version of Heart-Dreamer. In this version, Cheryl Melody Baskin uses the soothing imprint of her voice to narrate, incorporating new visualization journeys with musical accompaniment, singing her own original theme songs, and introducing additional life coaching techniques not found in the original paperback. Immerse yourself in a dynamic blend of literature and music that promises to ignite your creativity, inspire your dreams, and provide practical tools for personal growth. https://shrewsburyma.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/the-heart-dreamer-experience-a-creative-journey-featuring-books-music-and-audiobook-magic/

Join us for a captivating conversation with #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me, Laura Dave, as she chats with us online about her newest book The Night We Lost Him. The Night We Lost Him focuses on estranged siblings who discover their father has been keeping a secret for over fifty years, one that may have been fatal... Liam Noone was many things to many people. To the public, he was an exacting, self-made hotel magnate fleeing his past. To his three ex-wives, he was a loving albeit distant family man who kept his finances flush and his families carefully separated. To Nora, he was a father who often loved her from afar - notably a cliffside cottage perched on the California coast from which he fell to his death. The authorities rule the death accidental, but Nora and her estranged brother Sam have other ideas. As Nora and Sam form an uneasy alliance to unravel the mystery, they start putting together the pieces of their father's past—and uncover a family secret that changes everything. With Laura Dave's trademark combination of soulful suspense and evocative family drama, The Night We Lost Him is a riveting page-turner. Register now to learn about this book and so much more! About the Author: Laura Dave is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of several novels, including The Last Thing He Told Me and Eight Hundred Grapes. Her novels have been translated into thirty-eight languages, and six of them, including The Night We Lost Him, have been optioned for film and television. She resides in Santa Monica, California.
