The event, which is renowned for celebrating literary culture, gives authors a chance to show off their work to an extensive audience of book lovers and industry professionals.

Katherine J. Batsis was born in Concord, Massachusetts, and went to Lesley College and Simmons College. She has worked as an educational media specialist in Toms River, New Jersey, for over 25 years. In addition to her work duties, she is known for being involved in school and library associations at the local, county, and statewide levels. She is also involved in music and part-time business ventures. She showcases her talents in square, round, and folk dancing and performs with the singing group Go for Baroque.

Katherine's book, which was inspired by her husband's life and work, gives a vivid picture of Dr. Andrew Batsis, a man who was a proud husband, a kind dentist, a busy Kiwanian, and a man who looked like Santa Claus. His story of kindness and service throughout his life is truly felt in the community and serves as an example for others to follow.

The memoir has been thoughtfully divided into three parts: The Memorial Tribute, Personal Reflections, and Kiwanis. Together, they give readers a full picture of Dr. Batsis's life. The story beautifully combines Greek and American cultures through stories, recipes, and letters, showing a life full of traditions and service. At the end of the book, Key Club International awarded him the Key of Honor following his passing, demonstrating how significantly he impacted Kiwanis' youth programs.

Critics and readers alike praise the memoir for its engaging narrative and heartfelt depiction of Dr. Batsis's life. Comments from readers emphasize the book's ability to connect them personally with Dr. Batsis, celebrating his life's work and legacy. The memoir is praised for its thoughtful structure, blending elements of the memorial service with personal reflections and cultural insights while highlighting Dr. Batsis's charismatic and impactful persona.
