"I hope this letter gets to you quickly. We are always waiting, aren't we? Perhaps the greatest gift this war has given us is the anticipation…"

It's January 1943 when Rita Vincenzo receives her first letter from Glory Whitehall. Glory is an effervescent young mother, impulsive and free as a bird. Rita is a sensible professor's wife with a love of gardening and a generous, old soul. Glory comes from New England

society; Rita lives in Iowa, trying to make ends meet. They have nothing in common except one powerful bond: the men they love are fighting in a war a world away from home.

Brought together by an unlikely twist of fate, Glory and Rita begin a remarkable correspondence. The friendship forged by their letters allows them to survive the loneliness and uncertainty of waiting on the home front, and gives them the courage to face the battles raging in their very own backyards. Connected across the country by the lifeline of the written word, each woman finds her life profoundly altered by the other's unwavering support.

A collaboration of two authors whose own beautiful story mirrors that on the page, I'll Be Seeing You is a deeply moving union of style and charm. Filled with unforgettable characters and grace, it is a timeless celebration of friendship and the strength and solidarity of women.

Register in the office and receive a library copy of

this engaging, charming and moving tale for

advance reading.

After many happy decades teaching, Leslie is about to retire from teaching science to middle schoolers at The Elisabeth Morrow School in Englewood, New Jersey. She has written two books on the natural world of New York City, published by The Johns Hopkins University Press, and is finishing up her third book on the birds of New York City. She leads nature walks for the Fort Tryon Park Trust. Leslie and her husband live on Bennett Avenue.

Naturalist and author Leslie Day will lead a walking tour of the Heather Garden in Fort Tryon Park, where she will talk about the botanical and cultural history of the park and its flowers.

If it rains, Leslie will give a nature talk/slide show about the birds and trees of our neighborhood at the Center.

Although the walk is free, space is limited so please sign up in the office at your earliest convenience.
