Hannah Turner and her poetry collection THE CLARITY OF CHAOS
Featured Book
The Clarity of Chaos
This poetry book takes the reader on the profound journey from the dark closet of hiding a drinking addiction, to the sad wake up calls that life throws at you in the hopes you will wake up, to the emergence that happens once you make the decision to leave the dark closet and choose yourself. Living in the clarity of sobriety. My greatest desire is to have those who read this book to fee seen, heard and less alone in their own journey. Hannah been in recovery from alcohol for over two and a half years. Her journey toward sobriety began while she was studying at university in Paris—a pivotal chapter of her life both personally and creatively. It was during this time, while working on her thesis, that she began writing The Clarity of Chaos, a poetry collection born from the emotional turbulence of early recovery. Overwhelmed by the urge to drink, she turned to writing as a form of expression and healing. Through poetry, Hannah found a way to process pain, reclaim my voice, and share her truth. The Clarity of Chaos is not just a book—it’s a reflection of Hannah's journey and a message of hope. The goal is to inspire others who are navigating similar paths or grappling with their own struggles with substance use.
This book will be available for purchase at the event.

In-Store event with Monica Comas "Recipe for Joy"
Join us while we welcome author Monica Comas to discuss her book: RECIPE FOR JOY: A NOVEL. Books available for purchase and signing Refreshments will be served. RSVP at 847-234-4420 A grieving woman finds healing and purpose through her late grandmother’s cherished recipes in a poignant and hopeful novel about rediscovering the comfort of family in the most trying of times. Belle Sutton is a little lost these days. She has a stalled career, a New York apartment she can’t afford, and her sister, Lexie, is more estranged with each passing year. Belle’s one true consolation is her beloved grandmother, who’s powered through her own broken family ties with a tenacious zest for life and a passion for cooking. But when her grandmother suddenly passes away, a grieving Belle feels her only connection to the past is gone forever. That’s when Belle receives a series of letters, along with a cookbook, photographs of Belle and Lexie when they were young and happy, and her grandmother’s last wish that the sisters mend severed ties before it’s too late. For the love of Gran, a challenge is met that sets Belle and Lexie on a journey of hope, reconciliation, surprising discoveries, and the nourishing power of family, forgiveness, and tradition. All they have to do is follow the directions.
