Author Samantha Power will make two stops on the Seacoast this weekend to sign copies of her latest book and deliver a speech at the annual Portsmouth Peace Treaty Forum. Recenty added to President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team for foreign policy, the Harvard University professor and Time magazine columnist will be at RiverRun Bookstore in Portsmouth on Saturday, Dec. 6, from noon to 1 p.m. She will be at Wentworth by the Sea hotel in New Castle at 3 p.m. to speak in honor of Theodore Roosevelt’s 1906 Nobel Peace Prize.
At both locations, Power will sign copies of “Chasing the Flame: One Man’s Fight to Save the World,” which was recently published in paperback. The book tells the story of United Nations envoy Sergio Vieira de Mello, who was killed in a suicide bomb attack in Iraq in 2003.
RiverRun Bookstore is at 20 Congress St., Portsmouth, 603-431-8615. Wentworth by the Sea is at 588 Wentworth Road, New Castle, 603-422-7322. Tickets to the Portsmouth Peace Treaty Forum are $15. Tickets to a 1:30 p.m. pre-lecture reception with Power are $60 and include the price of the forum. Call 603-772-1835 or visit www.portsmouthpeacetreaty.com.
