Author Ferris at Safe Haven

Milford — Local author, Amy Ferris will be at the BlueStone Gallery on Wednesday, Sept. 23 from 6 to 8 p.m., to share parts of her newly released book “Marrying George Clooney: Confessions From A Midlife Crisis,” as a fundraiser for Safe Haven. All entry donations and book sales during this event will be donated directly to help promote peace in Pike County as part of Safe Haven’s Paint Pike Purple campaign. Amy Ferris offers up her heart and soul — sharing all her down and dirty, raw-to-the-bone, no holds-barred 3 a.m. musings. Along with fantasizing about marrying George Clooney, she spends time negotiating her Ambien intake, deals with her ever-expanding body, worries endlessly about her husband, contemplates her Jewish mother’s rapidly progressing dementia (along with her newfound love of Jesus Christ), and googles old boyfriends ... all in the middle of the night while her patient husband Ken sleeps soundly. Ferris courageously and humorously takes readers along for the ride as she negotiates and struggles through her own midlife crisis - ultimately discovering that menopause is an opportunity to fall madly in love with yourself. This wonderful, and profound book will not only change how you feel about menopause, it will forever change how you feel about the world around you. Safe Haven, Inc., a not-for-profit organization is dedicated to restoring dignity to victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse. Check out its Web site at www.safehavenofpikecounty.org.
