Moveable Feast: Diane M. Barnes (More Than)

Description

Join us for Moveable Feast, luncheons with exciting authors, artists, musicians and historians at area eateries.  
Book Synopsis: Peggy Moriarty's life has been focused on being a single mom to her twins, Grace and Greg. But now that they're teenagers doing their own things, she's at a loss. Her only hobby is watching "Messages from Beyond," a show about a medium who connects the grieving with their deceased loved ones. When the twins leave for college, they give Peggy a gift certificate for an exercise class. At first, Peggy is insulted. But once the sting wears off, she realizes if she gets in shape, she might gain the confidence she needs to go on her favorite TV show and talk to her late husband one last time. With help from her new friends at the gym and Carmen Tavarez, the mother of Grace's boyfriend, Peggy begins to emerge from her shell and spread her wings. She may soon discover that her sum is more than a mother, a widow, and her body.

The Moveable Feast, founded and managed by Linda Ketron, is now in its 29^th year. Held at local restaurants weekly throughout the year on Tuesdays or Wednesdays when the presenter or the preferred venue is available, the presentation precedes the meal. For each Feast, the chef prepares a special menu. Food allergies are accommodated with advance notice; vegetarian option always available. Individuals, couples, friends, book clubs, and other small groups are assigned table seating. Although the per feast price has increased in response to increased food and labor costs at the restaurants, your gift certificates or unused three-fer credits will be honored.
