Beverly Donofrio, Connecticut Native and Best-selling Author, Visits MxCC March 4

Beverly Donofrio visits Middlesex Community College for a book reading and signing on March 4 (12:30-2:00 p.m., Chapman Hall) – the first of five free events with the author that are scheduled as part of the College’s Women History Month celebration (visit http://mxcc.edu/womens-history-month/). As a “master memoirist,” Beverly Donofrio symbolizes what it means to heal through writing – a process she has gone through in three separate, highly acclaimed memoirs: “Riding in Cars with Boys,” “Looking for Mary,” and “Astonished.” The event, which is open to the public, includes a discussion on Donofrio’s philosophies on life and faith, and the importance of using grief and tragedy for inner growth.
