Local Vermont author Dr. Beth Malow will discuss her award-winning book followed by a Q and A. Learn how you can transform the politics of contempt into the politics of hope in your relationships as well as make a difference in your community and nation.

Award-winning book, Beyond the Politics of Contempt: Practical Steps to Build Positive Relationships in Divided Times  offers a hopeful roadmap for Americans trying to make sense of this dark moment and striving to find a better way.
