Sunday, November 5 at 3 p.m. – 
In honor of Transgender Awareness Month, Chris Edwards, who grew up in Wayland as the “daughter” of Ed & Nancy Eskandarian, will discuss life before, during and after his transition and explain how he used what he learned working in advertising to rebrand himself with dignity and grace at a time before the word transgender was part of the vernacular. His heartwarming memoir BALLS: It Takes Some to Get Some is an Amazon best-seller, Foreword Reviews Indies gold-winner and is rated one of the best books of the year by Shelf Awareness.
Books will not be available for sale at the event. Chris is happy to sign your personal copy following the program if you bring your own.
