Book Signing! A New Memoir and Four Novels

MOTHER OF BOMBING VICTIM CHRONICLES HER JOURNEY FROM GRIEF TO GRACE, DESPITE JUSTICE UNDONE AND POLITICAL BETRAYAL.

Join Rosemary Mild, mother of Miriam Luby Wolfe, at The Annapolis Bookstore for the launch of her new memoir, MIRIAM'S WORLD—AND MINE.

“I plan to sing and dance my way through life, become internationally famous and live happily ever after,” Miriam wrote in her high school yearbook. But her dreams brutally ended on December 21, 1988. Returning home from a Syracuse University semester in London, she died in the terrorist bombing of Pan Am 103.

You'll draw courage and exhilaration inspired by Miriam’s legacy of love, joyous humor and idealism. At age eleven she wrote to President Jimmy Carter, advising him on how to save the environment. The same day she wrote a fan letter to Dear Abby. Both responded.

MIRIAM'S WORLD—AND MINE leads us up to the present, including the harrowing trial of the two bombers. Most anguishing of all is the convicted Libyan bomber’s release, truly a betrayal of the 270 Flight 103 victims. Should a mother let go of anger as governments value politics more than our innocent loved ones?

But wrapped around these nightmares, you’ll find comfort and joy—optimism undefeated—in the remarkable families’ memorials: scholarships, sculptures, a baseball field, and the Syracuse University Remembrance Quilt. Best of all,  curl up with Miriam’s wisdom and wit as you read her entertaining stories, poems, diaries and essays.

“Reading about Miriam has had a very big effect on my life—I really carry her wisdom with me every day now. I had gotten away from seeing the joy of each day and she has restored my spirit. What a fabulous legacy.”—Kate White, Editor-in-Chief, McCall’s, 1993.
