Upcoming Programs for Adults
 
PERFECT STRANGERS by Roseann Sdoia book coverRoseann Sdoia: Perfect Strangers
Wednesday, June 7, 7 pm
To be held at the Hopkinton Historical Society
Co-sponsored by the library and the Hopkinton Historical Society


As Roseann Sdoia waited to watch her friend cross the finish line of the Boston Marathon in 2013, she had no idea her life was about to change -- that in a matter of minutes she would look up from the sidewalk, burned and deaf, staring at her detached foot, screaming for help amid the smoke and blood. In the chaos of the minutes that followed, three people would enter Roseann's life and change it forever.
