 March 10—
Steven LuxeNberg, Washington Post Senior Editor, will speak about his book, Annie’s Ghosts: A Journey Into a Family Secret. From Booklist: “Throughout her life, Luxenberg’s mother, Beth, reveled in her status as an only child. Then, a few years before her death in 1999—and utterly out of the blue—she admitted to having a mentally and physically disabled younger sister named Annie, who died in 1972. Beth’s failing health precluded Luxenberg and his siblings from learning any more. After Beth’s passing, Luxenberg set out in search of answers. His questions were many: What prompted Annie’s commitment, at age 21, to Eloise Hospital, a psychiatric facility? Why was there next to no record of her early years? Why did Beth, two years Annie’s senior, refuse for so long to acknowledge her sibling’s existence?. . . Part memoir, part mystery, part history of the mental-health movement, Annie’s Ghosts is a fascinating account of a life lived in the shadows and a family beset by despair. "
