The Literary Village presents:

All Eternity Lies Before Me

Author talk with Loreen and Matt Gibbons

All Eternity Lies Before Me is a suspense filled, real-life drama that reads like an action movie. The author, Loreen Gibbons, interweaves a dual narrative account about her memories as a Navy pilot’s wife with a tale of what happened to her husband Jerry Grisby the flight captain and his crew after the ditching of the crippled plane in the frigid, stormy North Pacific waters off the coast of the Soviet Union in 1978. Miraculously, ten members of the flight team survived and were rescued by a Russian fishing boat. Loreen’s husband was not among them, but she would not learn of his fate for three days. This story is more than a tale of military heroism; it is also a story of faith, hope, love, and resilience with a deeply spiritual core.

"…a riveting and heart-wrenching story of family, love, loyalty, courage, and great heroism. While the story details a tragic event, it also presents an uplifting account of humanity and decency. Loreen Gibbons has written a brave and beautiful book.” --Mary Tillman, Gold Star mother of Army Ranger Pat Tillman

The talk will be followed by Q+A and book-signing. Free copies to the first 20 attendees courtesy of the Friends of Mt. Pleasant Library , with additional copies available for sale and signing by the author.
