Power's is in town as part of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty Forum's annual event, presented by the Japan-America society of New Hampshire.

Power will sign copies of her book at RiverRun Bookstore from noon to 1 pm and then deliver the Portsmouth Peace Treaty Forum annual speech in honor of Theodore Roosevelt’s 1906 Nobel Peace Prize at Wentworth By the Sea at 3 pm.
