SUMMARY:'My Foreign Affairs:' A Book Talk with John Rielly
DESCRIPTION:The Book Stall is excited to welcome author John E. Rielly to the store for a discussion featuring his book\, My Foreign Affairs: From Hubert Humphrey’s Vietnam to America’s Role on the World Stage\, a White House insider’s journey through war\, diplomacy\, and America’s place on the world stage. My Foreign Affairs is both a candid political memoir and a masterful reflection on U.S. foreign policy—from the Kennedy years to the post-Cold War era. Combining vivid personal encounters with sharp analysis\, Rielly offers a rare glimpse into how world-shaping decisions are made—and the personal toll they exact. \nThis event is free with registration; please RSVP \nMore About the Book: In My Foreign Affairs\, John E. Rielly delivers a gripping insider’s account of America’s evolving role on the world stage\, beginning in the crucible of the Vietnam War. As foreign policy aide to Vice President Hubert Humphrey\, Rielly witnessed firsthand the high-stakes power struggle between the vice president and an unrelenting Lyndon B. Johnson—who wielded brutal pressure to force Humphrey’s support for a catastrophic troop escalation. Rielly watched in dismay as a once-vocal skeptic became a reluctant cheerleader for the war\, a transformation that may have cost him the presidency in 1968. \nFrom the shadowy corridors of the White House to the international halls of diplomacy\, Rielly went on to lead the Chicago Council on Global Affairs\, where he spent decades in conversation with some of the most influential leaders of our time. \nMore About the Author: John E. Rielly has been a leading voice in American foreign policy for more than seven decades. He served as a foreign policy aide to Vice President Hubert Humphrey during the Vietnam War and later spent 30 years as president of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. A respected educator\, he has taught at Harvard\, Northwestern\, and UC San Diego\, and edited the influential American Public Opinion and U.S. Foreign Policy series. His work has appeared in Foreign Policy\, The New York Times\, and Internationale Politik. A consultant to the National Security Council and a recipient of numerous international honors\, Rielly lives near Chicago with his wife and is the proud father of four.

SUMMARY:'Miracles Along County Q' by Mike McCabe
DESCRIPTION:Mike McCabe will be joining us to discuss his recent novel\, Miracles Along County Q.\n\nPlot summary:Few can do what Ray Glennon can. Many notice\, hardly anyone understands. Ray has a secret. Three actually. Sent away at birth\, he was brought back nearly nine years later to a beleaguered country town called Faith. People stay in their lanes here\, do as they’re told\, become what they’re expected to be. Ray is different\, not an easy thing to be in Faith\, making the poor kid a foreigner at home and a target of torment at school. An elderly couple offers solace and the delights within a ceramic jar on their kitchen counter.\n\nAs years pass\, hardship visits many in Faith\, and the community is repeatedly upended by a series of confounding incidents. It escapes no one’s attention that Ray figures in each. Notes written in a hand no one recognizes arrive from who knows where\, curiously finding their way into Ray’s possession. Riddling out the cryptic messages brings Ray to the rescue of Faith’s most stricken and to terms with long-concealed truths and hard-to-grasp capabilities. Wonders ensue. A mother sacrifices body and soul. Secrets are revealed\, as are faculties of the human spirit that only in the rarest instances get put to use.

SUMMARY:The Wisconsin Whey: Cheesemaking in the Driftless
DESCRIPTION:The Driftless Region of Wisconsin is home to some of the nation’s most celebrated cheesemakers–artisans whose creations have earned hundreds of state\, national\, and international awards. Tonight’s panel discussion draws from a new book\, The Wisconsin Whey\, which offers an intimate look at some Dairyland’s top cheesemakers who are featured in it. From legends like Sid Cook of Carr Valley Cheese to innovators like Andy Hatch of Uplands Cheese\, Wisconsin’s rock-star cheese artists span generations\, backgrounds\, and milk types–including cow\, goat\, sheep\, and even buffalo. Some are fourth-generation artisans; others came to cheesemaking from careers in law\, politics\, or wine. Despite their diverse paths\, they share a deep commitment to craft\, quality\, and community\, fostering a rare spirit of collaboration in a competitive field. The book\, and tonight’s panel discussion with several of its creators\, honor not only award-winning cheeses but the stories\, people\, and place behind them.
