Psychic 'Speaks From The Spirit' At Cresskill Library

It was someone else’s presence, she said, presumably the ghost of a young boy who’d fallen from a nearby tree and died years before.

Local Author To Tell Soviet Tales At Wyckoff Library
WYCKOFF, N.J. — Growing up in a totalitarian society inspired immigrant author Elena Gorokhova to compile her memories into a memoir titled "A Mountain of Crumbs." The Ridgewood resident will tell stories next week about her childhood in Soviet Russia and her 1980 journey to the United States during a reading at the Wyckoff Public Library. Gorokhova was raised in Leningrad, Russia, and shielded by the media from anything outside of the Soviet Union. “The truth was that there was nothing available about the West in the Soviet media," said Gorokhova, whose mother was a surgeon…
