SUMMARY:Book Launch Event in Celebration of Women's History Month
DESCRIPTION:Book Launch Event in Celebration of Women’s History Month\n \nMarch 29th\, 2024 | 6:30pm to 7:30pm EST | Hybrid \nEast City Bookshop\, 645 Pennsylvania Avenue Southeast ##100 Washington\, DC 20003\n  \nEast City Bookshop in partnership with the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) and WBEC Greater DMV welcomes Denny S. Bryce to discuss her new novel\, Can’t We Be Friends: A Novel of Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe\, in conversation with Victoria Christopher Murray.\nABOUT CAN’T WE BE FRIENDS \nAward-winning author Denny S. Bryce and USA Today bestselling author Eliza Knight collaborate on a brilliant novel that uncovers the boundary-breaking\, genuine friendship between Ella Fitzgerald\, the Queen of Jazz\, and iconic movie star Marilyn Monroe. \nOne woman was recognized as the premiere singer of her era with perfect pitch and tireless ambition. \nOne woman was the most glamorous star in Hollywood\, a sex symbol who took the world by storm. \nAnd their friendship was fast and firm… \n1952: Ella Fitzgerald is a renowned jazz singer whose only roadblock to longevity is society’s attitude toward women and race. Marilyn Monroe’s star is rising despite ongoing battles with movie studio bigwigs and boyfriends. When she needs help with her singing\, she wants only the best—and the best is the brilliant Ella Fitzgerald. But Ella isn’t a singing teacher and declines—then the two women meet\, and to everyone’s surprise but their own\, they become fast friends. \nOn the surface\, what could they have in common? Yet each was underestimated by the men in their lives—husbands\, managers\, hangers-on. And both were determined to gain. Each fought for professional independence and personal agency in a time when women were expected to surrender control to those same men. \nThis novel reveals and celebrates their surprising bond over a decade and serves as a poignant reminder of how true friendship can cross differences to bolster and sustain us through haunting heartbreak and wild success. \nDENNY S. BRYCE is an award-winning and bestselling author of historical fiction\, including Wild Women and the Blues. She is also an adjunct professor in the MFA program at Drexel University\, a book critic for NPR\, and a member of the Historical Novel Society\, Women’s Fiction Writers Association\, and Tall Poppy Writers. Currently\, she resides in Savannah\, Georgia. \nVICTORIA CHRISTOPHER MURRAY is an acclaimed author with more than one million books in print. She has written more than twenty novels\, including Stand Your Ground\, an NAACP Image Award Winner for Outstanding Fiction and a Library Journal Best Book of the Year. She holds an MBA from the NYU Stern School of Business. \n  \nClick here for more information!
