We’re excited to share that Annita Rodgers, author of "Shadows of the Past", will be visiting the Village Center in 2026 (date and time to be announced) for a special author talk and book signing.
Her powerful memoir offers a rare and deeply personal look at history—one shaped by her father’s past as a German SS officer and her own journey of truth, resilience, and reconciliation. Told through dual perspectives, the book invites readers to reflect on legacy, healing, and the courage it takes to confront difficult chapters of the past.
If you're interested in learning more or reading ahead of her visit, copies are available for purchase through the link at the end of the video. Buying through this link directly supports the author and her work.
Stay tuned for event details—we hope you’ll join us for this meaningful conversation.
