Join us Saturday, Dec. 12 at the Shirlington Branch Library for a book reading and signing with Rebecca K. O'Connor, author of Lift: A falconry memoir.
The culmination of a ten-year career in falconry, Lift is a memoir that illustrates the journey and life lessons of a woman navigating a man's ancient sport. Captivated by a chance meeting with a falconer's peregrine as a child, the indelible memory eventually brings the author's life full circle to flying a peregrine of her own.
