Event Details

Author Vicky Heldreich Durand will give an inspiring talk about her book, Wave Woman, a charming and intimate biography about her mother, Betty Pembroke Heldreich.

Betty trained to swim in the 1936 Olympic Games. With an entrepreneurial creativity and a drive for self-sufficiency, Betty found meaning as a sculptor, a dental hygienist, a jeweler, a fisherwoman, a potter and a poet. In Hawaii, the thrill of big waves crashing at Makaha Beach inspired the 41-year-old mother to pick up a surfboard, conquer her fears and compete as a champion!

This talk will be recorded and available for on demand viewing on the Library's Facebook and Youtube pages following the event.
