All are welcome to join us in the Main Lobby for a book discussion with Gail Burko. We will discuss the book The Love Elixir of Augusta Stern by Lynda Cohen Loigman.
On the cusp of turning eighty, newly retired pharmacist August Stern is adrift. When she relocates to Rallentando Springs-an active senior community in Southern Florida-she unexpectedly crosses paths with Irving Rivkin, the delivery boy from her father's old pharmacy-and the man who broke her heart sixty years earlier.
Gail grew up in Brooklyn, where her family was actively involved with Temple Beth El of Manhattan Beach.
For a while, her father, Ted Grosack, was President of the Temple, while her mother, Rita Grosack, was President of the Sisterhood.
During her thirty years of teaching English and Reading Skills at a New York City middle school, Gail tried to instill a love of literature and reading in her students.
