A Special 90 minutes with Jane Rubietta

Tue., November 17th, 2026 | 1:00 pm—2:30 pm

Clarksville Library 1312 Eastern Blvd, Clarksville, IN 47129

A fun, casual, meet-a-companion-who-knows-pain time together. In our time, Jane will share some of her story, and offer encouraging tips for fellow travelers on a road they didn’t choose.

Jane’s newest book – Merge: The Road After Trauma Meets Faith – was born on her birthday – the day professionals didn’t expect her to live to see.

In Jane’s own words, Merge: The Road After Trauma Meets Faith is the book “I didn’t want to write.”  Jane went for a walk and woke up weeks later. She was not expected to live.

Merge emerged for people struggling to just get through a day.

Merge is comprised of stand-alone readings for anyone who has had a hard day (or week, or season, or life and simply needs ‘space to breathe’ or a ‘poetic word of encouragement’.

If you know trauma, struggle with PTSD, care for someone who does, please come.

MERGE. Not a workbook, not a formula, not a promise that healing will arrive on schedule – instead it is Compassion for Today.

Author Jane Rubietta has written over 20 books and she lives in Chicago. For more info, please visit JaneRubietta.com.

Signed copies of Merge will be available via cash, check, venmo, zelle, credit card, and apple pay.
