Antiques Road Show @ Ransom
Saturday, June 7th from 10 AM-1 PM
It's time to dig out your hidden treasures and haul them to Ransom for our very own "antiques road show" program. This fun-filled event will feature appraisals by local antique appraiser Gregg Scott of Riverwalk Antiques and light refreshments. Tickets are $5 and include having two items appraised. Observers without items do not need a ticket. Appraisals are verbal, nonbinding opinions of value, but written appraisals will be available at an additional cost. Patrons are asked to pre-register.

(From Publishers Weekly)
Starred Review. Parents will find this compulsive page-turner from Edgar-winner
Coben (The Woods) particularly unnerving. A sadistic killer is at play in
suburban Glen Rock, N.J., outside New York City, but somehow he's less
frightening than the more mundane problems that send ordinary lives into chaos.
How do you weigh a child's privacy against a parent's right to know? How do you
differentiate normal teenage rebelliousness from out-of-control behavior? When
and how do you intervene if suicidal signs appear? Other issues include single
parenting; career versus family; marital honesty; and how much information you
should share with a child at what age. Coben plucks each of these strings like
a virtuoso as Mike and Tia Baye try to deal with the increasing withdrawal of
their 16-year-old son, Adam, after a friend's suicide. A pair of brutal,
seemingly senseless killings, punctuate the unfolding domestic troubles that
ratchet up the tension and engulf the Baye family, their friends and neighbors
in a web of increasing tragedy. The "this could be me" factor lends poignancy to
the thrills and chills.
