Bank Square Books presents an author talk and signing with Debra Curtis for her book, Laws of Love and Logic. About the Book A STUNNING DEBUT NOVEL FROM JENNA BUSH HAGER’S NEW VENTURE, THOUSAND VOICES A story of two sisters, one impossible choice, and the long shadow of the past—perfect for readers of Broken Country. Lily Webb has spent years trying to build a steady, predictable life, far from the hometown marred by tragedy and the sister she cannot seem to save from herself. Jane has always been the brilliant sister: fierce, complicated, and drawn to the mysteries of the universe. But after their mother’s death, Jane’s gifts became entangled with addiction, pulling the sisters into a cycle of love, guilt, and heartbreak that neither can escape. Lily has found comfort in a quiet marriage to a devoted scientist, one who opened her eyes to the beauty of the natural world and offered her safety and stability. But when her first love, a boy she lost under devastating circumstances, returns, Lily is forced to confront the past she thought she had buried. As old wounds reopen, and her fragile bond with Jane grows ever more tenuous, Lily must navigate the tension between the life she’s built and the life she once imagined, Spanning decades and rich with questions of faith, science, and the ties that hold us together, Laws of Love and Logic is a compelling, emotionally gripping novel about sisterhood, forgiveness, and the complicated nature of love. About the Author Debra Curtis is a retired professor of cultural anthropology at Salve Regina University, where she specialized in gender and sexuality. This is her first novel. She is the mother of grown-up twin girls and lives in Rhode Island with her husband and her English bulldog, Harry, who is the star of much of her TikTok content.

His extensive personal archive is a true treasure trove of historic images, preserving the rich heritage and evolving story of Weekapaug. Through his dedication and passion, Tom has helped keep the area’s past alive for generations, offering a visual history that is both rare and invaluable. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Weekapaug began to develop as a summer resort destination. Families from nearby cities such as Providence and New York built summer cottages and large, shingle-style homes along the coastline. The construction of these seasonal residences marked the transformation of Weekapaug from a sleepy agricultural community into a fashionable seaside retreat. Weekapaug's history is a testament to the resilience and spirit of its residents, who have weathered storms and changes while maintaining a deep connection to their coastal heritage.

Walk, wonder, and grow with us! Join WildRoots and the Westerly Land Trust once a month for Wonder Walks, a guided family hiking series designed to spark curiosity and nurture a lifelong love of nature. Through shared exploration and hands-on discovery, families will connect with Westerly Land Trust’s beautiful natural spaces while building a deeper appreciation for the plants, animals, and ecosystems that make each property unique. By fostering curiosity and encouraging stewardship, we hope to inspire the next generation to care for—and protect—the wild places around them. Each session invites children and their families to slow down, look closely, and discover the wonder of the natural world together. We begin every program with a thoughtfully selected nature story before heading out on the trails to explore. Children are invited to use tools like bug vacuums, waders, magnifying glasses, and digital microscopes to get a closer look at nature and investigate what sparks their curiosity. Westerly Land Trust and WildRoots guides will lead each adventure, creating opportunities for exploration while supporting discovery and inquiry. August’s Wonder Walk offers a special opportunity to help WildRoots create a whimsical fairy village. As we explore their trails, children will gather fallen natural materials—such as twigs, pinecones, acorn caps, bark, leaves, and stones—and use their imagination to design and create. This creative activity encourages children to see the beauty and possibilities within nature while practicing respectful stewardship. Click HERE to sign up! About the Hosts WildRoots Play is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a community where children and families can nurture connection, holistic development, and Earth stewardship through immersive experiences in nature and play. The Westerly Land Trust (WLT) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to conserving open space, revitalizing neighborhoods, and building community in Westerly, Rhode Island.
