– Janet Hubbard – longtime Mad River Valley resident, world traveler, teacher, bon vivant, and author of more than two dozen books – left us one last literary gift before her recent death: a new novel, The Eloquence of Grief. To celebrate this achievement, Janet’s friends, admirers and wider community are invited to a Book Launch in the Red Barn Galleries at the Lareau Farm. The event features selected readings from the book, light refreshments, and a cash bar. The $20 admission includes a copy of the novel. Presented by Phantom Theater and The Big Picture Theater, with gratitude for assistance from Tempest Book Store.
