Notice Otis Author Event
November 12 at 6PM Otis Library
Presented by local author and Chair of the Otis Historical Commission
The Liberation of Sue Moody: Slaying the Dragons by Gail Gelburd, is not just the story of a journalist’s career. It is
the chronicle of a woman from Otis who endured war, hunger, and the constant threat to her safety, yet refused to
lose her voice or her sense of identity. Surviving war and starvation is not a backdrop in this book. It is the lifeline
that runs through every chapter.
The book itself has its own extraordinary origin. While on the Otis Historical Commission, Gail Gelburd reviewed
a long-forgotten collection of Sue Moody’s writings, found by her neighbor, Marlyn Coffey, in an abandoned home
on route 23. The papers were fragile, yet her words remained clear, confident, and alive with wit. In those boxes
was the unfiltered voice of a woman determined to be heard, even by future generations. Gail Gelburd will do a
reading, and discussion about the creation of the book. Signed copies will be available at the event on November
12 at 6PM at the Otis Library.
Her website is www.Gailgelburd.com
