BHS Alumni and Authors Amy Turner & Lee Stockdale to do Readings at Womrath Bookshop on April 27
On The Ledge, A Memoir
Ultimately, Amy takes a remarkable emotional journey. She starts by unraveling the trauma of her own brush with death—and then, unexpectedly, goes on to heal the childhood trauma buried far deeper.
On the Ledge is also, in part, a story of Amy's coming of age in Bronxville, NY during the '50s and sometimes turbulent '60s.
Poignant, intimate, and at times surprisingly humorous, On the Ledge offers proof that no matter how far along you are in life, it's never too late to find yourself.
Amy Turner was born in Bronxville, New York and graduated from the Bronxville schools. She holds a degree in political science from Boston University and a Juris Doctor degree from New York Law School. After practicing law for twenty-two years, she changed careers at forty-eight and became a seventh grade social studies teacher. She lives in East Hampton, New York, with her husband.
Lee has just won first place out of almost 18,000 poets in United Kingdom National Poetry Prize.
Lee spent thirty years in the Army and retired as a Colonel in the Judge Advocate General's Corps. He earned his MFA from Queens University, Charlotte; BA from the University of Washington; JD from Case Western Reserve; and Master's in Strategic Studies from the US Army War College. He and Gail, a potter, have five children, five grandchildren, and make their home in the Western North Carolina mountains.

Bronxville Public Library
The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
