DUE TO THE AUTHOR'S ILLNESS, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. When her 7-year-old daughter was swept out to sea by a rogue wave in 1976, Carol Kearns thought she would lose her sanity. Trying to be strong for her 9-year-old son, she met with the late Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, who taught Kearns "grief therapy" and encouraged her to become a psychologist. In her memoir, Sugar Cookies and a Nightmare, Kearns recalls her 24 years as a grief specialist, corrects a misguided radio host she calls "Dr. Expert," and reveals her own battle with post-traumatic stress disorder after her son, a naval flight surgeon, was deployed to Iraq. Hear her at Village Books tonight.
