A Brand New Start...This Is Home is a new history of Marin City written by Felecia Gaston, the founder and executive director of Performing Stars.

The book begins with Marin City's founding as a shipbuilding community during WWII, as workers migrated from the American South and Midwest to create Marin County's only Black enclave. The focus then turns to the housing and social challenges faced by Black residents from 1942 to the present day, highlighting the community's fierce strength and resilience.

A Brand New Start is available for checkout from the Sausalito Library and for purchase at local bookstores.

Felecia Gaston will also discuss her new book at two in-person events in April 2023:

• In conversation with Elaine Petrocelli at Book Passage in Corte Madera from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 15.
• In conversation with Cheryl Popp at Sausalito Books by the Bay from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 25.
