SUMMARY:Author Talk with Kenneth Tan and family
DESCRIPTION:Seated side-by-side at their kitchen table in San Jose\, 94 year old Crescenciana Tan and her grandson\, Kenneth Tan\, got to work. Crescenciana made watercolor paintings and Kenneth drew her memories on top of them. When Crescenciana passed\, she left behind her paintings\, and Kenneth decided he would finish everything she started. He promised. \nIn Crescenciana\, Kenneth weaves together their artwork\, conversations\, and memoirs to tell his grandmother’s life story and remind us that we can move forward without leaving our loved ones behind. \nTans Interwoven is a collection of honest\, heartwarming\, and humorous memoirs written by a Filipino American family\, with illustrations created by Crescenciana Tan and Kenneth Tan. \nBraiding their stories together\, the Tans remind us that in our own families\, with our lives entwining\, we won’t see the patterns we’re repeating unless we take a moment to stop\, step back\, and look at the entire tapestry altogether. \nAbout the Author: \nKenneth Tan is a second-generation Filipino American living in his hometown of San Jose. He has shared stories about his grandmother on NPR and StoryCorps\, and he is a recipient of the Leigh Weimers Emerging Artists Award.

SUMMARY:Lost Treasures of San Francisco Author talk
DESCRIPTION:Join author Maria Lenhart on a nostalgic journey through an unforgettable time and place. Lost Treasures of San Francisco is a love letter to the City-by-the-Bay\, celebrating such bygone pleasures as grooving to the Grateful Dead at Winterland on New Year’s Eve\, marveling at the giant Christmas tree at the City of Paris department store\, and catching a Giants game on a windy afternoon at Candlestick. \nLavishly illustrated with historic photos and memorabilia\, the book delves into the recent and distant past\, tracing the evolution of a city that literally rose from the ashes of the 1906 earthquake and fire. Along the way\, there are encounters with Emperor Norton\, Herb Caen\, Robin Williams\, the San Francisco Twins and others who added to the city’s bold and creative spirit. \nAbout the Author \nMaria Lenhart’s travel and feature articles have appeared in more than 100 publications\, including Travel + Leisure\, On the Go With AAA\, Via\, Meetings Today\, Los Angeles Times\, Christian Science Monitor and Boston Globe. She’s the co-author of Secret Cape Cod & The Islands\, winner of a 2024 Lowell Thomas Award from the Society of American Travel Writers. As a fourth-generation San Franciscan\, she is especially proud to share the colorful heritage of her favorite city.
