In addition, as a salonnière for over ten years, Rita adores gathering in person with avid readers to talk about books that stir them –or don’t—the why as intriguing as the why not. She looks forward to discussing your book club questions about either or both of her books as well as the interesting background about why she felt compelled to write these that feature the experiences of the same generation at pivotal time periods in history.
If you’re interested in an appearance at your club to discuss either or both of her books, please submit your request and Rita will get back to you promptly about joining your discussion either in person (if you’re in the Chicagoland area) or virtually.
Rita is proud to partner with Adventures by the Book where book clubs can secure a visit by visiting their website.


This debut novelist breathes fire onto the pages with The Fourteenth of September, spurring a rich dialogue on topics such as war/antiwar, mother/daughter, Coming of Age, Coming of Conscience, generation gap, betrayal, girlfriends, first love, college life, history, boomers, and more.
