Benefit reading

FARMINGTON — Kathleen Sheeder Bonanno, author of “Slamming Open the

tragic act of violence, will give a benefit reading for Sexual Assault
Victims Emergency Services (SAVES), Franklin County’s sexual assault
crisis response project. Bonanno will read at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8,
in Lincoln Auditorium on the University of Maine at Farmington campus.

“Slamming Open the Door” received local publishing house Alice James
Books’ Beatrice Hawley Award in 2008. The collection traces the lines
of grief that formed around Bonanno’s life when her daughter, Leidy,
was murdered by an ex-partner. Leidy was 21 and a recent graduate of
nursing school when she died in 2003.
