About the Author
In her humorous new book, Simple Times, Amy Sedaris demonstrates that crafting is one of life's more pleasurable and constructive leisure activities. She shows that anyone with a couple of hours to kill and access to pipe cleaners can join the elite society of crafters.
Sedaris has appeared in several movies and television shows, and, with Paul Dinello and Stephen Colbert, is a co-author of the novel Wigfield. She also co-wrote Strangers with Candy, the hit show on Comedy Central. She lives in Manhattan. |

Past Fundraising Events:
2010 Spring Benefit Featuring Ayelet Waldman
On Tuesday, April 20, 2010 Breast Cancer Connections hosted our 2nd Annual Spring Benefit, featuring author Ayelet Waldman, at Sharon Heights Golf and Country Club in Menlo Park. Ayelet Waldman, an internationally published writer and mother of four, focused her talk on her most recent, best-selling book Bad Mother: A Chronicle of Maternal Crimes, Minor Calamities and Occasional Moments of Grace. Ayelet told hilarious stories about her rise to fame and the controversy surrounding her essay Why I Love You More. Her book talks about the compulsive perfect parenting that so many modern mothers strive for, and her message is, “Let’s stop beating up ourselves and stop beating up each other.”
2009 Spring Benefit Featuring Kelly Corrigan
On Tuesday, April 21, 2009 Breast Cancer Connections hosted our first speaker event, featuring Kelly Corrigan to a soldout crowd of over 360 guests at the Menlo Circus Club in Atherton. Kelly Corrigan, author of The Middle Place, is the mother of two young girls, and she’s also a young breast cancer survivor. A natural storyteller, she captures the beat of ordinary life and the everyday moments that bind families together. Kelly read from her memoir and offered hilarious anecdotes to almost every story she shared. She had the audience laughing and crying at the same time. It was an inspiring morning that brought women together to enjoy simply being with one another. |
