KENNEBUNK — Local author Terry Powers will be discussing his book “The Death Waltz” at 6 p.m. Monday, June 26 at the Brick Store Museum in Kennebunk.

“The Death Waltz” consists of eight separate tales of men in different points of their lives dealing with death.

Survivor’s stories are woven with the lingering effects of losing a loved one; a dance with death that creates the very fabric of the shattered lives of those left behind. The death of a wife, a brother, a life once lived are examined through the lens of the men struggling to move on, after finding themselves without someone, or something, they never imagined being without.

The decision of surrendering to or fighting the inevitable end of life’s journey touches the lives of everyone involved in each story.  

Growing up around death where his family cared for hospice clients, Powers pens incredibly
touching heartfelt stories that give insight into the male mind as it deals with loss, and how death affects a wider circle than we could ever imagined.

Powers is a first time author who is also a letter carrier in Saco. He joined the U.S. Airt Force at 17 and was a military policeman for several years.

After leaving the service, he was a private investigator, a counselor, a newspaper writer and a retail manager before joining the U.S. Postal Service

This event is free and open to the public.  

The Brick Store Museum is at 117 Main St. in Kennebunk across from the library.
