She meets Kevin, a cynical writer who finds her attractive, and that same week her flirtatious younger sister Tess comes to town. Jane silently watches George fall for Tess, a manipulative pretender. Worse, Jane may be called upon to plan their wedding. Meanwhile, Kevin tries to get Jane's attention and has an idea that may advance his career. Can Jane uncork her feelings?  Cast: Katherine Heigl, Malin Akerman, Edward Burns

    Charles Winslow’s Black History Collection along with his original Thread Art Exhibit
Artist’s Reception on Saturday, February 11, 2012 at 1pm.
Charles L. Winslow is one of America's most distinguished artists. Mr. Winslow is internationally known and respected for his distinctive style of thread art.  He creates pictures with nylon thread and pins. Winslow, a self taught artist has been drawing and painting since early childhood, but it was not until the 1960's that he started on his original art form. Winslow starts his work with a drawing, which he discards as the idea takes shape, gains momentum and individuality.  His work does not project itself forcefully, it possesses a sense of quietness and great strength. Mr. Winslow is the recipient of over 50 awards and has earned the nickname "The Thread Man" by his fellow artists. He is a member of the Long Island Black Artist Association and several professional organizations.

              In the 1970s, Larry Ott and Silas "32" Jones were boyhood pals in a small town in rural Mississippi. Their worlds were as different as night and day: Larry was the child of lower-middle-class white parents, and Silas, the son of a poor, black single mother. But then Larry took a girl to a drive-in movie and she was never seen or heard from again. He never confessed and was never charged.
More than twenty years have passed. Larry lives a solitary, shunned existence, never able to rise above the whispers of suspicion. Silas has become the town constable. And now another girl has disappeared, forcing two men who once called each other "friend" to confront a past they've buried for decades.
Multiple copies of the book, book on cd and large print are being held
