Event Details
You are invited to meet author Barbara Walsh on Dec. 8 at 6 pm at New Haven Public Library, 133 Elm St.
Walsh has interviewed killers, bad cops, and crooked politicians in the course of her career. But her most challenging writing experience came from her own life when she undertook to create a biography/memoir involving her father and grandfather. In AUGUST GALE: A FATHER AND DAUGHTER'S JOURNEY INTO THE STORM she takes readers on two heartrending odysseys: one into a deadly Newfoundland hurricane and the lives of schooner fishermen who relied on God and the wind to carry them home; the other, into a squall stirred by a man with many secrets: a grandfather who remained a mystery until long after his death.
"Like The Perfect Storm, Barbara Walsh’s book vividly captures the fishermen who fought for their lives in an unforgiving sea. Her quest to redeem and understand her grandfather is a powerful story that will resonate with fathers, daughters and sons.” – Kate Braestrup, New York Times bestselling author
Walsh will also discuss her recently released children’s book called SAMMY IN THE SKY, created with painter Jamie Wyeth. Copies of both titles will be available for sale and signing at this event. There is no charge, and free parking is available. For more information call the library at 203-946-8835.

from Wikipedia:
Walsh worked with Susan Forrest to publish over 175 articles for the Eagle-Tribune on the Massachusetts furlough system that was in place in the state's prison system. The system allowed convicted felons to leave prison for short periods. After the series appeared, the Massachusetts legislature passed a statute limiting furlough days. The series was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for General News Reporting in 1988.
After winning the Pulitzer Prize, Barbara moved to Florida, where she covered courts and social services for seven years for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel of Fort Lauderdale. Moving to Portland, Maine in 1996, she began investigating major social issues, and in 1997 led a four-person team that produced "The Deadliest Drug: Maine's Addiction to Alcohol," which won the Pew Center for Civic Journalism’s Batten Award. In 1999 her series "A Stolen Soul," about a woman's struggle to bring her son's murderer to justice, won the national Dart Award for excellence in reporting on victims of violence.
In 2000 and 2001 Walsh spent 15 months interviewing hundreds of Maine teenagers for a series of print and online pieces called "On the Verge." "On the Verge" won the Casey Medal, the top national prize for coverage of children and families. It also received an honorable mention for the Batten Award for excellence in civic journalism; the Pew Center called the stories "a stunningly framed and written series about teens that broke free of stereotypes."
In 2003 Walsh won more awards for "Castaway Children: Maine's Most Vulnerable Kids," which showed the need for more children's mental health services in Maine. The stories led to hearings and legislative changes at both the state and federal levels. The series won the national Anna Quindlen Award for Excellence in Journalism in Behalf of Children and Families. These projects and others—including "Death Too Soon," on youth suicide, and "Crisis in the Courts" on the way faulty record-keeping deters justice—have also won numerous state and regional awards and led to many local initiatives.
In 2007, Barbara won the Yankee Quill Award for her lifetime contribution toward excellence in journalism in New England. Judges commended Walsh for being "a feisty project reporter who writes about important public matters and issues and whose work has changed society for the better." The award is bestowed annually by the Academy of New England Journalists, and administered by the New England Society of Newspaper Editors. It is considered the highest individual honor awarded by fellow journalists in the region.
