Mark your calendars for La Canada Flintridge’s One City One Book 10th Anniversary program scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20, at the Community Center of La Cañada Flintridge, 4469 Chevy Chase Drive.

Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey’s first novel, “A Woman of Independent Means,” which became a bestseller when it was published in 1978 and has subsequently been turned into a stage play as well as a TV mini-series, has been selected as this year’s community read by the La Cañada Flintridge One City One Book Committee.

Hailey will take part in a program scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20, at the Community Center of La Cañada Flintridge, 4469 Chevy Chase Drive. The event, which is free and open to the public, will begin with Lissa Layng Reynolds performing part of her one-woman show based on the book. Following that, local author Mark Salzman will converse with Hailey. Afterward, there will be an opportunity to have the book signed by the author.

Copies of “A Woman of Independent Means” can be found at the La Cañada public library and at local bookstores.
