Author Talk: Elisa Bernick

In her memoir “Departure Stories: Betty Crocker Made Matzoh Balls (and Other Lies),” Elisa Bernick discusses growing up “different” (i.e., Jewish) in the white, Christian suburb of New Hope, MN during the 1960s and early 1970s. Poignant and provocative, “Departure Stories” peers through the broader lens of Minnesota’s recent history to reveal an intergenerational journey through trauma that unraveled the Bernick family and many others. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

Registration Requested.
