The book launch for Light: A Mother and Daughter Memoir of Anorexia will be held in the community room at the Pierson Library in Shelburne. This story of “abiding love,” co-written by Nancy Y. Levine with Rachel Levine-Spates, is about obsession and OCD, family history and stigma, and Rachel’s battle with life-threatening anorexia. At the event, the co-authors will be in conversation with therapist Suzanne Adams, M.A., founder and clinical director of the Adams Center for Body and Mind in South Burlington.

A signing and book sale hosted by Flying Pig Bookstore will follow.
