SUMMARY:Community\, Power\, and the Search for Indigenous Identity with Award-Winning Journalist Joseph Lee
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, November 5\, 2025 Time: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm Presenter: Joseph Lee Location:  Online   \nRegistration is required. Click this link to attend the virtual event. \nYou’re invited to learn from journalist and author Joseph Lee as he chats online with us about his stirring memoir\, Nothing More of This Land: Community\, Power\, and the Search for Indigenous Identity. In it\, he explores Indigenous identity in proximity to land that serves as an iconic vacationing spot for the wealthy–the “island paradise” Martha’s Vineyard. \nGrowing up Aquinnah Wampanoag\, Joseph Lee grappled with what it means to be an Indigenous person in the world today\, especially as tribal land\, culture\, and community face new threats. Starting with the story of his own tribe\, which is from the iconic Martha’s Vineyard\, Lee tackles key questions around Indigenous identity and the stubborn legacy of colonialism. \nLee weaves his own story—and that of his family—with conversations with Indigenous leaders\, artists\, and scholars from around the world about everything from culture and language to climate change and the politics of belonging. As he unpacks the meaning of Indigenous identity\, Lee grants us a new understanding of our nation and what a better community might look like. \nRegister now to join the author online as he delves into the true and vulnerable story\, Nothing More of This Land.  \nNot able to attend live? You can access the recording for this event and all Online Author Series events on our website shortly after they conclude. \nAbout the Author: Joseph Lee is an Aquinnah Wampanoag writer based in New York City. He has an MFA from Columbia University and teaches creative writing at Mercy University. His writing has been published in The Guardian\, BuzzFeed\, Vox\, High Country News\, and more. He was a Margins Fellow at the Asian American Writers Workshop and a Senior Indigenous Affairs Fellow at Grist. \n \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Mountain View Library.

SUMMARY:Courtly Intrigue and Whispers as Weapons with Historical Fiction Queen Philippa Gregory
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, October 29\, 2025 Time: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm Presenter: Dr. Philippa Gregory Location:  Online   \nRegistration is required. Click this link to attend the virtual event. \nCoined as the “queen of British historical fiction\,” Philippa Gregory returns to the infamous Tudor Court with a tale that is both timely and timeless. We invite you to sit down with us for an intriguing conversation with Gregory about her newest novel Boleyn Traitor (forthcoming October 14\, 2025).  \nJane Boleyn watches from the shadows of the Tudor Court\, where secrets are currency\, every choice is dangerous\, and even the faintest whisper can seal the fate of queens. \nFor Jane\, survival demands playing every role required of her: a loving wife who conceals her doubts\, a devoted sister to Anne Boleyn at the height of her power\, and an obedient spy who carefully wields her words. But in a court ruled by ambition and a tyrant’s sword\, Jane must rely on her sharp wit and skillful maneuvering to outthink those around her\, knowing that one wrong move could cost her everything.  \nWith a rich tapestry of new historical insights and lyrical language honed over decades of writing\, Gregory's return to the Tudors is a new definition of this most fascinating era. As the world becomes more extreme and unpredictable\, Jane’s story of survival and ingenuity offers a compelling parallel\, serving as both a powerful historical narrative and an echo of the challenges we face. This is a riveting tale of loyalty and betrayal\, ambition and love—one that should not be missed by readers this fall. \nRegister today for this exciting glimpse into the perilous 16th century royal court! \nNot able to attend live? You can access the recording for this event and all Online Author Series events on our website shortly after they conclude. \nAbout the Author: Dr. Philippa Gregory is one of the world’s foremost historical novelists. She wrote her first ever novel\, Wideacre\, when she was completing her PhD in eighteenth-century literature and it sold worldwide\, heralding a new era for historical fiction. Her flair for blending history and imagination developed into a signature style and Philippa went on to write many bestselling novels\, including The Other Boleyn Girl and The White Queen.  \nDr. Gregory studied history at the University of Sussex and was awarded a PhD by the University of Edinburgh where she is a Regent and was made Alumna of the Year in 2009. She holds an honorary degree from Teesside University\, and is a fellow of the Universities of Sussex and Cardiff. Philippa is a member of the Society of Authors and in 2016\, was presented with the Outstanding Contribution to Historical Fiction Award by the Historical Writers’ Association.

SUMMARY:Finding My Way with Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, October 22\, 2025 Time: 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm Presenter: Malala Yousafzai Location:  Online   \nRegistration is required. Click this link to attend the virtual event. \nYou are invited to join us online and be one of the first to hear from Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai about her astonishing memoir\, Finding My Way. Malala reintroduces herself to the world\, sharing how she navigated life as someone whose darkest moments threatened to define her narrative—while seeking the freedom to find out who she truly is. \nThrust onto the public stage at fifteen years old after the Taliban’s brutal attack on her life\, Malala Yousafzai quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. But away from the cameras and crowds\, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world. Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love\, of anxiety and self-discovery\, of trying to stay true to yourself when everyone wants to tell you who you are. In it\, Malala traces her path from high school loner to reckless college student to a young woman at peace with her past. Through candid\, often messy moments like nearly failing exams\, getting ghosted\, and meeting the love of her life\, Malala reminds us that real role models aren’t perfect—they’re human. \nFinding My Way is a vulnerable\, surprising memoir that buzzes with authenticity\, sharp humor\, and tenderness. It is an intimate look at the life of a young woman taking charge of her destiny and is a deeply personal testament to the strength it takes to be unapologetically yourself. Register now for an online conversation you cannot miss! \nNot able to attend live? You can access the recording for this event and all Online Author Series events on our website shortly after they conclude. \nAbout the Author: Malala Yousafzai is an education activist\, the youngest-ever Nobel laureate\, bestselling author\, and award-winning film producer. She was born in Mingora\, Pakistan\, in 1997 and graduated from Oxford University in 2020. \n \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Mountain View Library.
