Wednesday, August 8, 7:30pm – Wayland Author Genevieve Fosa will discuss her new book, When Mother Calls:
Josepha Brown is tired; tired of the seemingly endless winter, tired of her job and tired of her loopy stepmother, Maggie, calling at all hours about things that probably don’t exist. Tonight, Maggie asks Josepha to please come over, because there has been an intruder in her home, and she wants to hold a seance to talk to this intruder. She is certain it is her brother Max, who died years ago. Josepha would rather curl up in bed with a good book. Instead, she goes to see what Maggie wants. As far as Maggie is concerned, the seance is an admirable success. Josepha stole the show, by falling asleep and letting her Uncle Max speak through her. The other guests are thrilled over her performance. This leads to Josepha having adventures with a nefarious agency that wants to imprison her in order to use her powers. In her effort to find a way to stop this agency, Josepha travels back in time to 1845. There she meets her sister, who wants to know why Josepha disappeared from her family when she was just a little girl.
