In Casey Scieszka’s The Fountain: A Novel, Vera Van Vulkenburgh hasn’t been home in more than 180 years. Forever 26 and able to heal from any wound, she returns to the Catskills to uncover what made her family immortal – and maybe reverse it. But a mysterious, well-funded company, her immortal brother, and an oddly familiar woman all cloud her purpose in this story of eternity and mortality. In Jaclyn Moriarty’s Time Travel for Beginners, on a road in Sydney there is a storefront known simply as the Time Travel Agency, which can send you to whatever time you wish to go. Attend a Beatles concert, visit your long-lost grandmother, or watch yourself make the one decision that changed everything – what will it be? And In Claire Vaye Watkins’ Yellow Pine: A Novel, deep in the Mojave, Rose navigates single parenthood and – with a community of misfits – standing against the “green energy gold rush” she’s certain will destroy her beloved desert. Then an old romance is rekindled – and it sparks a new drive to not just have another child, but to give birth to a fuller way of being. Moderating is author Lisa Rosenberg.
