The Cummings Foundation will provide books (free to all registrants) for a community book study the Buttonwoods Museum is co-hosting with the Haverhill Public Library.
"Maddie Wells' life spirals out of control after the murder of her wife Char, a transgender woman of color. Hunger for revenge drives Maddie to take a job at a wax museum near the murderer's hometown, where she studies revenge and plots how to strike back. Befriending the murderer's wife is the first stage in Maddie's plan to make him pay.
The Language of Bodies probes the seduction of vengeance using vivid, sensual imagery to explore how love transcends the particulars of body parts, and how revenge blurs the line between victim and perpetrator, hero and villain. It's a gorgeous, dark tale about the enduring power of love, and the human spirit's unwillingness to give up."
Suzanne DeWitt Hall is a freelance writer, a HuffPost blogger, and author of the children’s picture book Rumplepimple. She is mildly obsessed with vintage cookbooks and the intersection of sexuality and theology. She lives joyously with her wife Diane, a cat named Chicken, and a wire fox terrier.
This program is co-hosted by the Buttonwoods Museum and HPL.
This event is sponsored by a grant from the Cummings Foundation.

Kathy gets evicted from her home for failing to pay a tax she never should have been charged to pay in the first place. The house is swiftly put up for auction and bought by a former military officer from Iran named Behrani.
