Two Authors to Visit Scarsdale Library

Helen Perelman, author of the popular Candy Fairies series of fantasy books, will speak at the Scarsdale Public Library on Saturday, January 31, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. The 20 book series takes place in Sugar Valley where the candy fairies have magical adventures. Registration is required on the library website, www.scarsdalelibrary.org.

Luis Montalvan, the award-winning author of “Until Tuesday: A Wounded Warrior and the Golden Retriever Who Saved Him” an inspirational story of a special relationship between a dog and a wounded veteran, will discuss his book at two programs at the Scarsdale Public Library – one for adults and a separate program for children.

The adult program will be held on Sunday, February 1, between 2 and 5 p.m. The program for children will be held on Monday, February 2, between 4 and 5 p.m. Registration is required for the children’s program.

Montalvan’s New York Times best-selling memoir tells the story of Tuesday, a lovable golden retriever who changed Montalvan’s life. A highly decorated captain in the U.S. Army, Montalvan served two tours of duty in Iraq. After returning home, his physical wounds and crippling post-traumatic stress disorder began to take their toll. He wondered if he would ever recover.

Then he met Tuesday, who was trained to assist the disabled. Tuesday had lived among prisoners and at a home for troubled boys, and found it difficult to trust in or connect with a human being--until Luis. “Until Tuesday” is the story of how two wounded warriors found salvation in each other.
