About this Event

Longtime lawyer and judge Harriet Helfand weaves intrigue, humor, and a touch of romance with legal themes in her Arcadia Chronicles series-- a combination we find endlessly interesting and fun. Come on by the Ivy between 5-7pm on Friday, January 9th to meet the author, have your book signed, and enjoy a drink with friends as we celebrate these books.

All three of Harriet Helfand's books-- Fee Simple Conditional, Clear and Convincing Evidence, and The Right of Redemption-- are set in Maryland and contain local flavor, and themes including land ownership and inheritance, mental health law and psychiatric commitment, and the foreclosure crisis, with thoughtful consideration of how these issues impact characters' lives.

We hope you can join us to learn more!

Books will be available for purchase at the event.

Harriet Helfand grew up in Annapolis, Maryland, and before becoming a lawyer and administrative law judge, studied in Ottawa, Ontario and Philadelphia. Her experience in the law has taken her to prisons, psychiatric hospitals, impoverished urban and rural areas, and courtrooms filled with desperate litigants seeking justice.

Following a legal career in which she wrote hundreds of legal articles and opinions, Harriet now writes novels in the series entitled The Arcadia Chronicles. Her novels, Fee Simple Conditional, Clear and Convincing Evidence, and The Right of Redemption, are set in Maryland and contain local flavor, legal themes, humor, and sparks of love.
