Library to host book signing by area author 

 The Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library is excited to host area author, Jeanette Van Zanten Stump for a book signing of her latest title, “She Hath Wings,” on Saturday, October 17 from 10 a.m. -2 p.m. The event will be held in front of the library building if weather permits, in the case of bad weather, the event will be moved to the multipurpose room, with a limit of 5 patrons at a time (plus the author) allowed in at once.

 Van Zanten Stump is a freelance writer of memoir. She resides in Ridgway, Pennsylvania with her husband Cliff and their two corgis, Tasha and Tucker. Jeanette is a memoirist and along with her Memoirs, she published Little Mill Creek Family Recipes. In March of 2018, The Red Caboose-An Orphan's Journey was released. Jeanette Van Zanten Stump did not know how to listen to the whispers of her heart until they became screams. “She Hath Wings” is a memoir of someone in search of a nurturing community. But sometimes that search leaves you vulnerable. The setting of the book takes place in Cameron and Elk County. For 25 years, Jeanette was told to prepare for an Armageddon that would destroy everything she knew. She would need to learn to think for herself, and her children, against all odds. 

 A sequel to “The Red Caboose-An Orphan’s Journey,” a memoir of the ten years Jeanette lived in an orphanage from age three to thirteen, “She Hath Wings” is her story of a young mother’s desire to find freedom and love. From the darkness of a lonely marriage, Jeanette was recruited by Jehovah’s Witnesses into a religion that isolated her and instructed her how to think. This is her journey to breaking free emotionally and spiritually.

 Van Zanten Stump will have copies of both of her books available for purchase, and the library will also add both memoirs to their collection.
