A Love Across Greatest Generation(s)


Next Monday evening at Barnes & Noble, Stamford-based writer Nancy A. Prieston discusses and reads selections from I’ll Never Leave You, her life-spanning novel inspired by an 18-page story, shared between her parents while divided by the events of World War II.

Beleaguered by neglect, the early passing of her mother and chronic illness, a young Anna initially draws the attention of Dan, a considerably older gifted woodworker, in Depression-era Greenwich, CT, igniting a romance defined by an enduring tenderness and support lacking in Anna’s life up to then.

Never Leave reproduces in its entirety “The Cherished Book” in original form, the sustaining tribute of love long-sought by Anna, which was originally penned by Nancy Prieston's father, Dan, during his service abroad.  

Nancy maintains an educational program for toddlers based in Stamford, CT. Contact her about her current and upcoming projects at nancyplunion@gmail.com.

Hosted by Frank Chambers and PoemAlley's Nick Miele, the Barnes & Noble's Open Mic Poetry program meets the second Monday of each month in the cookbook section on the main floor of the bookstore (located in the Stamford Down Center), beginning at 7:15 p.m.
