He uncovers the forgotten history of money\, tracing the uneasy and often accidental alliance between wealth and religion as it developed from ancient city-states to today’s secular world\, where religious devotion has receded and greed has stepped in to fill the void. \nThrough engaging anecdotes\, original research\, and fresh perspectives on the causes of the many challenges we face today\, Vigna makes a compelling argument that money has no power apart from the power we give it. \nWhether you are interested in economic history\, personal finance\, or the hidden cultural forces shaping modern life\, this talk is sure to pique your interest. \nRegister today to learn more about how devotion to money has replaced religion as the foundation of our society. \n  \nAbout the Author: \nPaul Vigna is an author\, journalist\, editor and speaker\, with a particular focus on capital markets and cryptocurrencies.

The captain of the ship\, Xiala\, is a disgraced Teek whose song can calm the waters around her as easily as it can warp a man’s mind. Her ship carries one passenger. Described as harmless\, the passenger\, Serapio\, is a young man\, blind\, scarred\, and cloaked in destiny. As Xiala well knows\, when a man is described as harmless\, he usually ends up being a villain. \nWhether you are a longtime fan of the trilogy or searching for your next immersive fantasy read\, this is an event you won’t want to miss out on. \nRegister today to go behind the scenes with one of speculative fiction’s most exciting voices! \n  \nAbout the Author: \nRebecca Roanhorse is a New York Times bestselling and Nebula\, Hugo\, and Locus Award-winning speculative fiction writer.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Cultural Commentator Ana Hebra Flaster
DESCRIPTION:Exile\, Memory\, and the Meaning of Home: A Conversation with Ana Hebra Flaster\nAward-Winning Author\, Essayist\, and Cultural Commentator\nTuesday\, December 8th 2026 at 1:00 PM CST\nRegister now for your private live link or find the recording after the event here: https://libraryc.org/danvillepubliclibrary/217357 \n  \nWhat happens when the country you love forces you out\, leaving you just 48 hours to abandon everything you’ve ever known? Join us online for an extraordinary online conversation with author and essayist Ana Hebra Flaster as we discuss her sweeping yet deeply intimate memoir Property of the Revolution: From a Cuban Barrio to a New Hampshire Mill Town. \nAna Hebra Flaster was six years old when her working-class family was kicked out of their Havana barrio for opposing communism. Once devoted revolutionaries themselves but disillusioned by the Castro government’s repressive tactics\, they fled to the US. The permanent losses they suffered—of home\, country\, and loved ones\, all within forty-eight hours—haunted her multigenerational family as they reclaimed their lives and freedom in 1967 New Hampshire. There\, they fed each other stories of their scrappy barrio—some of which Hebra Flaster has shared on All Things Considered—to resurrect their lost world and fortify themselves for a daunting task: building a new life in a foreign land. \nWeaving pivotal events in Cuba–US history with her viejos’—elders’—stories of surviving political upheaval\, impossible choices\, and “refugeedom\,” Property of the Revolution celebrates the indomitable spirit and wisdom of the women warriors who led the family out of Cuba\, shaped its rebirth as Cuban Americans\, and helped Ana grow up hopeful\, future-facing—American. But what happens when deeply buried childhood memories resurface\, demanding an adult’s reckoning? \nHere’s how the fiercest love\, the most stubborn will\, and the power of family put nine new Americans back on their feet. \nRegister today to gain a deeper\, more personal perspective on the refugee experience and the enduring quest to define home. \n  \nAbout the Author: \nAna Hebra Flaster is journalist and the author of Property of the Revolution: From a Cuban Barrio to a New Hampshire Mill Town\, published in April 2025 (She Writes Press\, Simon and Schuster distribution). A former child-refugee from Cuba\, Ana’s work has appeared in national print and online media\, including: The New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, The Washington Post\, and The Boston Globe. Her commentaries and storytelling have aired on NPR’s All Things Considered and PBS’s Stories from the Stage. Since its publication in April 2025\, Property of the Revolution has won first place in several international writing contests\, including: 2026 IBPA Book Awards (Memoir); 2025 Discovery Book Awards (Nonfiction overall); 2025 International Book Awards (Creative Nonfiction)\, and the 2025 IAP Book Awards (Memoir of the Year). The memoir was selected as the Nashua\, New Hampshire\, 2026 All-City Read and the Rivier University 2025 First-Year Read. Ana speaks regularly with student\, library\, and civic groups about her family’s journey and the refugee and immigrant experience. She is currently focused on covering the struggle for democracy and human rights in Cuba in her weekly Substack\, CubaCurious\, a project she launched in July 2024. \n  \nAll events are free and open to the public.  For more information or to register for the author talks\, visit https://libraryc.org/danvillepubliclibrary or call 217-477-5220. \nBrought to you in partnership with the Library Speakers Consortium and a grant from Danville Library Foundation. \nThe Library is committed to making programs accessible to all.
