White Oak Library presents The Intricate Riddle of Life: Mary ShelleyWednesday, June 3, 20267:00-8:30 p.m.White Oak Library, 201 W. Normantown Rd.In celebration of our Summer Reading 2026 theme "Unearth a Story!", Debra Ann Miller returns to our district! You may remember her as Agatha Christie during her previous visit. We welcome Debra's upcoming performance as Mary Shelley! Mary Shelley was the daughter of social revolutionaries William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, wife of romantic poet Percy Shelly, and mother of Frankenstein and his monster. But beneath the sweeping romantic tale of love unbound by societal convention and a life of travel, is the truth of the life of Mary Shelley; abandoned, disowned and betrayed, wounded by the deaths of husband and children, she was besieged by creditors and so called friends. By 1848, Mary is financially secure at last, her most recent book has been well received, and her only living son is on the verge of marriage. Debra Ann Miller is a professional actress, vocalist and voice-over talent with over 30 years of experience as a performer for live audiences, television, and film.
