Authors to sign books, host trivia Tuesday at Seymour Public Library
The mother-daughter duo of the “Grounded Goodwife," Velya Jancz-Urban and Ehris Urban of Woodbury have written a just published book “How to Survive a Brazilian Betrayal.”
they will appear at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at Seymour Public Library, 46 Church St.
The memoir is “written by a kooky gregarious mother and a perceptive poised daughter - this book takes readers along on an unconventional family’s hilariously honest yet heart-wrenching journey.
Readers will fall in love with their spunk, feel the knockout punches of betrayal along with them and be rooting for them to get back from the betrayal in Brazil caused by a family friend.”
During the signing and reception there will be a trivia contest on the audience’s knowledge of Brazil with the winners receiving the Brazilian candy Serenata de Amor for prizes.
