After receiving degrees from Harvard and Waseda University in Tokyo\, Mira returned to the Nakashima Studio in 1970 and apprenticed under her father for two decades before becoming creative director of George Nakashima Woodworkers.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: The Search for Truth & the Persistence of Love Across Time with Novelist Amanda Peters
DESCRIPTION:Join us in an online conversation with acclaimed writer Amanda Peters as we discuss her instant bestselling novel\, The Berry Pickers\, as well as her tender short fiction collection\, Waiting for the Long Night Moon: Stories. \nInfluenced by Peters’ own Mi’kmaq heritage\, The Berry Pickers is a riveting exploration of family\, grief\, and the bonds we share. \nJuly 1962. A Mi’kmaq family from Nova Scotia arrives in Maine to pick blueberries for the summer. Weeks later\, four-year-old Ruthie\, the family’s youngest child\, vanishes. She is last seen by her six-year-old brother\, Joe\, sitting on a favorite rock at the edge of a berry field. Joe will remain distraught by his sister’s disappearance for years to come. \nIn Maine\, a young girl named Norma grows up as the only child of an affluent family. Her father is emotionally distant\, her mother frustratingly overprotective. Norma is often troubled by recurring dreams and visions that seem more like memories than imagination. As she grows older\, Norma slowly comes to realize there is something her parents aren’t telling her. Unwilling to abandon her intuition\, she will spend decades trying to uncover this family secret. \nAbout the Author: Amanda Peters is a mixed-race woman of Mi’kmaq and European ancestry\, born and raised in the Annapolis Valley\, Nova Scotia.
