Success: A Matter of Head or Heart?
Author and actress Mara Purl (What the Heart Knows: A Milford-Haven Novel) and author Donis Casey (Crying Blood: An Alafair Tucker Mystery) use their fiction to discuss the classic conflict between the head and the heart. Their discussion includes a “heart” segment about “how a woman discovers her passion and chooses the right major and earns the right degree” followed by a “head” segment, about how a woman can make the most of education. Refreshments will be served.

Is the heart smarter than the head? Artist Miranda Jones begins to trust her heart enough to escape from her life of privilege and start over in Milford-Haven, the small town of undiscovered beauty on California's Central Coast. She connects with environmentalist Samantha Hugo-a brilliant PhD twenty years her senior who gave up a son years earlier; and with restaurant owner Sally O'Mally who left Arkansas to create her own dream. Each woman wrestles with her own core issues while balancing demanding careers with the attentions of interesting men. None is aware that journalist Christine Christian has just been murdered while investigating a half-built house. Though the book stands alone, it is also Book 1 in the critically acclaimed, popular series, a multi-generational saga. Based on Purl's BBC Radio drama Milford-Haven U.S.A.

In the autumn of 1915, Shaw Tucker, his brother James, and their sons, go on a hunting trip to the derelict farm his stepfather had bought years before.   Instead of a quail, Shaw’s dog, Buttercup, retrieves an old boot with the bones of a foot inside. Buttercup then leads the men to a shallow grave and a skeleton with a bullet hole in the skull. That night, Shaw awakens to see a pair of moccasin-clad legs strolling by his tent flap. He chases the intruder, who has disappeared so completely that Shaw wonders if he imagined it.  Had he also imagined the ghostly voice that called his name?   After he returns home, Shaw can’t shake the memory of the disembodied legs and the ghostly voice. His concern is justified when he realizes that someone - or something - has followed him home.   His dread turns to relief when he captures a young Creek Indian boy who says he is Crying Blood.  The boy had followed Shaw, hoping to find a white haired man who killed his brother.   Shaw ties the boy up in the barn, but during the few minutes he is left alone, someone thrusts a spear through Crying Blood’s heart.   Who murdered a boy right under Shaw’s nose?  The law is on the killer’s trail, but Shaw Tucker has a hunch about the identity of the white-haired man who called his name.   Only Shaw’s wife, Alafair, might be able to forestall his dangerous plan. So when the opportunity arises, Shaw sends her on a wild goose chase.  As soon as she is out of the way, he sets out to confront the killer.
