Join Deborah Burns (deborahburnsauthor.com), author Saturday’s Child, to talk with her about her new book. The discussion will be led by I’On’s Anne Janas who worked with her good friend in magazine publishing in NYC.  Burns is a former Chief Innovation Officer and brand leader for Elllegirl, Elle Décor, Metropolitan Home and Elle Global Marketing.

Beneath Deborah Burns' business leader exterior, always beat the heart of a writer. An only child, Burns grew up in prim 1950s America in the shadow of her beatiful, unconventional, rule-breaking mother, Dorothy - a red-haired beauty who looked like Rita Hayworth and skirted norms with style and flare. As a child, Deborah revered her charismatic mother, but Dorothy was a woman full of secrets with a troubled past.

In vivid, lyrical prose, Saturday’s Child tells the story of Burn's eccentric upbringing and her quest in midlife, long after her parents’ death, to uncover the truth about her mother and their complex relationship.

She confronts the reality of her mother's legacy - and finally claims her own. 

If you would like to read Saturday's Child before Deborah Burns' visit, the paperback is available through her website.
