Author Reading: Patricia Haim in Conversation with Sarah Baker Munro

BOLD is thrilled to host a reading with Patricia Haim, author of Lifelines: A Viennese Family’s Letters from Home and Exile, 1938-1947 in conversation with local Portland author, Sarah Baker Munro, author of Timberline Lodge: The History, Art, and Craft of an American Icon.

Patricia will read from Lifelines and both authors will discuss this historical memoir, which gives voice to the daily survival of a family during the Holocaust, through letters that portray their present-tense thoughts as they connect through the traumas of separation and oppression.
Discussion to be followed by an audience Q&A and signing.

Patricia Haim was born and raised in New York City. After graduating from the University of Melbourne’s English language and literature honors program, she attended graduate school at Duke and Notre Dame Law School. She retired after a career in employment, labor, and immigration law. She lives in Bend, Oregon.

Sarah Baker Munro majored in Anthropology and Art History at Pitzer College and received an MA in Folklore at the University of California Berkeley. She wrote several publications on the lodge, including Timberline Lodge: The History, Art, and Craft of an American Icon; a Multiple Property Documentation form for PWA and WPA resources in the State of Oregon; and other local history articles. Currently, she serves on the State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation.
