Scranton native Glenda Long Eggerling has scheduled two presentations about her book in local libraries during the next two weeks.
The Churdan library will host Eggerling on Thursday, May 14, at 9:30 am in the library. She will also speak Tuesday, May 26, at 5 pm at the H. F. and Maude E. Marchant Memorial Library in Scranton.
Eggerling is a 1956 graduate of Scranton High School. Her parents were Burnett and Marie Legore. She will answer questions and her book will be available for purchase.
Eggerling will share the story of her book, The Comer: From Grief to Romance and Remarriage at Age 60 – A Widow’s Plunge into Bewilderment, Promise, and Pleasure.
The Comer is a quirky coming-of-age story about someone who begins a quest for romance and deeper personal insight at the tender age of 60. Embedded in the narrative are tips for dating as a senior, handling grief and loneliness, setting goals for a new life, getting along with adult stepchildren, and writing a set of marital agreements that holds the tension on differences between the sexes.
“The Comer is a universal narrative of loss, growth, renewal, and the stretching of wings that a reader of any age or gender can appreciate,” the book jacket states. ~The Scranton Journal
