SUMMARY:Reading: Elissa Minor with Nancy Judd Minor
DESCRIPTION:Annie Bloom's Books welcomes Elissa Minor for a reading from 
 her new memoir\, Another Eve: Shame and Desire on the Oregon Coast. Elis
 sa will be in conversation with her mother and fellow author\, Nancy Jud
 d Minor. About Another Eve: Shame and Desire on the Oregon Coast: When s
 he walks away from the Mormon church and a twenty-five-year marriage\, E
 lissa Minor abandons the only life she’s ever known to embrace her ident
 ity as a queer woman. In this intimate memoir\, she explores shame\, des
 ire\, beauty\, and acceptance. Minor realizes that her desire isn’t the 
 problem but the solution. Finding solace outside of the church in the wi
 lderness that surrounds her\, she eventually begins to understand what i
 t really means to be pure and worthy. On the rugged terrain of the north
 ern Oregon coast\, Minor discovers passion and harmony in the grip of na
 ture and in the arms of a lover who will become her wife. In the salty s
 ea air\, she learns that her own queerness—though less-charted territory
 —is like her love of backwoods hiking and that to accept her sexuality\,
  she must take full pleasure in the wild that encompasses her. Poignant 
 and powerful\, Another Eve re-examines past truths and celebrates honori
 ng oneself and living authentically. For Minor\, the end of her transfor
 mation is only the beginning. Elissa Minor is the author of the memoir A
 nother Eve: Shame and Desire on the Oregon Coast and the award-winning c
 ollection The Prisoner Pear: Stories from the Lake. Her work has appeare
 d in New Letters\, Glimmer Train\, Juxtaprose\, Baltimore Review\, The L
 edge\, and Crab Creek Revie w\, among others. She lives on the north Ore
 gon coast with her wife and their two dogs. Nancy Judd Minor\, a former 
 high school English teacher\, is now retired and doing it well. Besides 
 finally finishing Malheur August\, she has taken up painting—when not bi
 rding\, reading\, and gardening. She lives in her beloved Oregon with he
 r partner\, Jerry\, and their two cats.\n\nMore info: http://annieblooms
