MEET THE AUTEUR: My Mother was a Butterfly a film by Eva Jane Bunkley
Meet the auteur. Producer, screenwriter and director Eva Jane Bunkley shares two remarkable stories from her own life. First, there’s the story of the young woman who spent three days alone with her mother’s dead body when she was only six years old. She never questions what happened until she grows up, looking just like her mother. When she reaches the age at which her mother died, one question leads to another until finally she’s caught up in a strange journey to uncover the secrets of a tragic life… In the second story, this Emmy-winning make-up artist becomes a celebrated filmmaker in an effort to share her mother’s story—and ends up connecting with the father she never knew. DVDs will be available for sale and signing at the event.
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

BOOKED FOR MURDER
Tonight’s book discussion is about Suspicions of Mr. Whicher by Kate Summerscale
In this Victorian true crime tale, the Kents wake up one day to find their four-year-old son murdered. All clues point to the distasteful notion that the killer lives among them. But when Mr. Whicher of Scotland Yard suspects the boy’s half-sister, his career is nearly ruined. Five years later, the killer’s confession sets the nation into hysterics and inspires a generation of mystery writers. For more details, visit www.lkwdpl.org/bookclubs.
