Book Launch - Lotus Girl: My Life at the Crossroads of Buddhism and America by Helen Tworkov
The Inverness County Centre for the Arts, Inverness County’s arts hub, will host a book launch for longtime Inverness resident Helen Tworkov. Helen’s memoir, Lotus Girl: My Life at the Crossroads of Buddhism and America, is a moving and beautifully written account of her extraordinary life. Helen has been a part time resident of Inverness County since 1970, and, in addition to exploring her early years growing up in the New York art world, and her life spent at the centre of Buddhism’s flourishing in the West, her memoir is full of stories about her decades in Cape Breton. In a starred review, Publisher’s Weekly called it “a stimulating and elegant memoir.” The event will run from 3:30 to 5pm. It will feature a reading by Helen, a conversation with Jared Bland, known locally for his interviews at the Cabot Trail Writers Festival, and a Q&A with the audience. Light refreshments will be served afterward. Books will be for sale, and Helen will be pleased to sign copies.
