Author Reading with Janna Cawrse Esarey '94
November 7 • 11:00AM-12:30PM • Elliott Bay Book Company • Seattle, WA

Alumni, parents and friends are invited to a reading with Whitman author Janna Cawrse Esarey ’94 to hear about her book debut, “The Motion of the Ocean: 1 Small Boat, 2 Average Lovers and a Woman’s Search for the Meaning of Wife.” This is a humorous true story of a woman who abandons her tidy life to honeymoon across the Pacific on a leaky, old boat—only to find that sailing is easier than keeping her relationship off the rocks.

Space is limited so plan to arrive early and grab coffee in the Elliott Bay Cafe before the reading.
