Meet Kelly Corrigan - Author of Glitter and Glue - A Benefit for The Bereavement Center of Westchester

Meet renowned author, Kelly Corrigan at a special reading, Q&A, and book signing of her latest book, Glitter and Glue - a heartfelt homage to motherhood. Corrigan is exceptionally mesmerizing when talking about parental/child relationships and her third memoir, Glitter and Glue, is no exception.

This moving memoir talks about how Corrigan, at the age of 24, worked for five months as a nanny for an Australian widower with two young children. The experience had such an impact on her that she came to reconsider and appreciate her own mother.

Glitter and Glue is "a tale about growing up, gaining wisdom, and reconciling with Mom (something we all must do eventually), but it's also an honest meditation on our deepest fears of death and abandonment" - Elizabeth Gilbert, NY Times bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love,

The evening is a benefit for the Bereavement Center of Westchester, which offers grief support programs to help children and adults, individuals and family members, cope with the death of a significant person in their life.
