Meet Author Sarah Damoff

Bestselling author Sarah Damoff appears at O'Brien's Bookshop for an opportunity to meet the writer behind The Burning Side and The Bright Years. The Burning Side is set in Argyle and Dallas, where a midnight fire forces April and Leo to flee with their two young children. They move into April's childhood home, where her lively parents and siblings offer support that also brings new complications. As the couple navigates grief, guilt, logistics, and the mix of memories lost and preserved, the crisis reveals strains that were already forming in their marriage. The story unfolds through alternating perspectives from April, who feels the press of motherhood and self blame, Leo, a high school history teacher shaped by a lonely and fractured childhood, and Deb, April's generous and no nonsense mother who is facing her husband's recent Alzheimer's diagnosis, along with flashbacks that trace April and Leo's relationship from its early spark to the hard choices that followed. It explores what families inherit and choose, the pull of forgiveness, the ache of being known, and the meaning of home over a long love. Damoff is also the author of The Bright Years, a USA TODAY bestseller that is being translated into twelve languages. She lives in Texas with her husband and children and has been a social worker. Copies of The Burning Side in hardcover and The Bright Years in paperback are available at O'Brien's Bookshop, with options to purchase ahead of time, pick up at the event, or buy in store anytime.

The festival transforms Magnolia Avenue in the Near Southside Cultural District, with artists’ booths extending for more than a mile and additional indoor showcases hosted by participating restaurants, bars, offices, and retailers. Visitors can explore the neighborhood on foot, by bicycle, or via transit, including Trinity Metro Bikes. Launched more than twenty years ago as an indoor gallery night supporting neighborhood revitalization, ArtsGoggle has grown into a street-spanning tradition that draws over 80,000 people. The atmosphere is welcoming and informal, giving emerging and professional creators a supportive place to present, sell, and discuss their work. Entertainment centers on local talent and includes collaborations with arts organizations across Fort Worth. Previous editions have featured pop-up performances by Fort Worth Opera, colorful dance from Ballet Folklorico de Azteca, and headlining sets from Sarah Jaffe, Ben Kweller, and Sir Woman. The event is produced by Near Southside Arts in partnership with Near Southside, Inc., showcasing the vitality of the Near Southside community.

Cleburne Conference Center

October Full Moon 🌕

The studio offers an extended sanctuary experience inspired by the October Hunter’s Moon, welcoming the shift into early autumn. It encourages a slower pace, thoughtful reflection on the close of the harvest season, and a grounded connection to nature’s move toward stillness. Two complementary practices are combined to support mind, body, and spirit. The Early Autumn Yin and Slow Practice unfolds at an unhurried tempo to soothe the nervous system and deepen presence. With long, supported holds, gentle movement, and mindful breathing, participants can release accumulated tension, create space for ease, and finish feeling centered and steady. The Full Moon Sound Bath immerses attendees in therapeutic sound. Resonant instruments produce calming vibrations that quiet the mind, invite profound rest, and align with the contemplative energy of the full moon. Multiple sessions are available throughout the day.
