SUMMARY:WL Reads: Concealed by Esther Amini
DESCRIPTION:Sunday | January 10 | 11:00 AM-12:15 PM ET | Zoom\n\n\n\nEsther
  Amini is a writer\, painter\, and psychoanalytic psychotherapist in priva
 te practice. Her short stories have appeared in Elle\, Lilith\, Tablet\, T
 he Jewish Week\, Barnard Magazine\, Washburn University’s Inscape Litera
 ry Journal\, and Proximity. She was named one of Aspen Words’ two best e
 merging memoirists and awarded its Emerging Writer Fellowship in 2016 base
 d on her memoir entitled: “Concealed” and was chosen by JWT as their A
 rtist-in-Residence in 2019. Her pieces have been performed by Jewish Women
 ’s Theatre in Los Angeles and in Manhattan.\n\nAmini grew up in Queens\,
  New York during the freewheeling 1960s. She also grew up in a Persian-Jew
 ish household\, the American-born daughter of parents who had fled Mashhad
 \, Iran. In Concealed\, she tells the story of being caught between these 
 two worlds: the dutiful daughter of tradition-bound parents who hungers fo
 r more self-determination than tradition allows. In this poignant\, funny\
 , entertaining\, and uplifting memoir\, Esther Amini documents with keen e
 ye\, quick wit\, and warm heart how family members build\, buoy\, wound\, 
 and save one another across generations\; how lives are shaped by the dema
 nds and burdens of loyalty and legacy\; and how she rose to the challenge 
 of deciding what to keep and what to discard.\n\nRead along with your sist
 ers and join WL Reads for a discussion with Esther Amini on Sunday\, Janua
 ry 10th at 11:00 am Eastern Time. Even if you haven’t had the opportunit
 y to read the book by then\, join us anyway. It will undoubtedly engage yo
