What an incredible event this was. A big thank you Ann Nyberg and Amy Bloom, for so generously donating their time and talent for this special event to support the Branford Arts & Cultural Alliance (BACA).

New York Times bestselling author Amy Bloom’s deeply moving memoir “In Love” is being brought to the big screen, with an extraordinary cast featuring Annette Bening as Amy Bloom, George Clooney as her late husband Brian, Jane Fonda as her mother-in-law, and Alan Alda as her late therapist.

At its heart, In Love is a powerful and deeply personal story about unconditional love, compassion, and the dignity of making life’s most difficult decisions. This book is a must read.❤️❤️
