Friends Auditorium
Steve Luxenberg will discuss his book Annie’s Ghosts: A Journey Into A Family Secret. Described as part detective story, part social history, and part memoir, the book revolves around his mother’s decision to hide the existence of a disabled sister, Annie. Luxenberg, a Washington Post editor and Detroit native, pieces together the story of his mother’s motivations, his aunt’s unknown life, and the times in which the two women lived. His search takes him to imperial Russia and Depression-era Detroit, through the Holocaust in the Ukraine and the Philippine war zone, and back to the large mental institutions where Annie and many others were lost to memory. Steve will sign and sell copies of his book at the event. Registration preferred. Fill out the form below or call the adult reference desk at 248-246-3727.
