Author Jennifer Coburn appears at the Library to celebrate the Fall 2022 publication of her new novel, "Cradles of the Reich". Set in 1939, Germany is on the brink of war and Hitler’s plan to create a “master race” of pure-blooded Aryan babies has been launched. The top-secret Lebensborn Nazi breeding program is brought to life amidst the story of three German women who change the course of one another's lives. Coburn has also published a mother-daughter travel memoir, We'll Always Have Paris, as well as six contemporary women's novels. Additionally, she has contributed to five literary anthologies, including "A Paris All Your Own". Books will be sold at the event courtesy of Adventures by the Book and are available for pre-sale here. She lives in San Diego with her husband, William. Their daughter, Katie, is currently in graduate school. When Jennifer is not going down historical-research rabbit holes, she volunteers with So Say We All, a live storytelling organization, for which she is a performer, producer, and performance coach. She is also an active volunteer with Reality Changers, a nonprofit that supports low-income high school students in becoming the first in their families to attend college. She specializes in college essay development and interview preparation. Social Media: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program was initiated by President Barack Obama in 2012. But it was not supposed to last this long. Permanent immigration reform is still out of reach and the futures of DACA recipients remain uncertain. Then, the looming Supreme Court Decision on Roe v. Wade has some experts questioning whether the state of women’s health in America may be reversing course. Next, California’s wildfires have become bigger, hotter and more destructive. The firefighters themselves are suffering and many have quit. Plus, local dairies in a small community west of Fresno are pioneering promising methane reduction technology - but not everyone is sold on the benefits. Then, if math and numbers seem hard to comprehend, or even imagine, it may be because humans did not evolve to count and multiply. Also, the inaugural student member of the San Diego Unified Board of Education graduated this week and will be passing the torch to two new student board members.
