SUMMARY:M Event 2013 - Nicole Hardy Reading and Book signing at Twilight
DESCRIPTION:Confessions of a Latter-Day Virgin by Nicole Hardy Reading and Book Signing EVENT!\n\n	Thursday\, September 26th\, 2013\n\n	West Seattle's Nicole Hardy will be reading from her memoir\, Confessions of a Latter-Day Virgin\n\n	Book signing and Q&A with the author\n\n	Doors at 7pm\n\n	In her funny\, intimate\, and thoughtful memoir\, Nicole Hardy explores how she came\, at the age of thirty-five\, to a crossroads regarding her faith and her identity. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints\, Nicole held an absolute conviction in her Mormon faith during her childhood and throughout her twenties. But as she aged out of the Church's "singles ward" and entered her thirties\, she struggled to merge the adventurous life she envisioned for herself with the one the church prescribed\, where all women are called to be mothers and the role of homemaker is the emphatic ideal.\n\n	CONFESSIONS OF A LATTER-DAY VIRGIN chronicles the extraordinary lengths Nicole undertook in an attempt to reconcile her very human needs with her spiritual life\, including flying across the country and sailing the high seas to meet men she found on LDSsingles.com\, taking salsa classes to meet her need for physical contact\, and even moving to Grand Cayman\, where the ocean provided some peace and solace. Yet neither these secular pursuits nor LDS guidance could help Nicole prepare for the dilemma she would eventually face: a crisis of faith that would cause her to question everything she had grown up believing.\n\n	Single\, happily childless\, and still a virgin at thirty-five\, Nicole must grapple with the agonizing decision to trade her traditions and her spiritual center for a chance at life and love free from stifling cultural expectations. In the tradition of the memoirs Devotion and Mennonite in a Little Black Dress\, CONFESSIONS OF A LATTER-DAY VIRGIN is a mesmerizing and wholly relatable account of one woman's hard-won mission to find love\, acceptance\, and happiness on her own terms.\n\n	ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Nicole Hardy's memoir Confessions of a Latter-day Virgin was inspired by her essay\, "Single\, Female\, Mormon\, Alone\," published in the New York Times and selected as a "notable essay" in 2012's Best American series. Nominated for a Pushcart Prize\, Hardy is also the author of two poetry collections: This Blonde and Mud Flap Girl's XX Guide to Facial Profiling.\n\n	**Visit www.nicolehardy.com for more information**
