The meeting is open to the public. Refreshments will be served. Lurie will discuss her newest book, "Taking Sides in Revolutionary New Jersey: Caught in the Crossfire". The American Revolution lasted eight years, a "civil war" where men and women, blacks and whites, native Americans all found themselves on a middle ground. Family, religion and politics factored in their choices. Lurie analyzes the difficulties faced by the prisoners of war, the refugees produced by the conflict and the loyalists. Their stories are interesting and illustrate how these people were literally in the "cross fire". Lurie holds a BA from Alfred University, a MA from the University of Rochester, and a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin. She has taught at Marquette University, Rutgers University, and Seton Hall University; helped conduct seminars for K-12 teachers. An Early American historian, she has taught and written about New Jersey history for over thirty years. She is active with research projects, and in the New Jersey history community. She is the author of scholarly articles, has edited The New Jersey Anthology (1994, 2010); was co- editor-in-chief with Marc Mappen of The Encyclopedia of New Jersey (2004); worked with Peter O. Wacker and Michael Siegel on Mapping New Jersey (2009); with Richard F. Veit editing New Jersey: A History of the Garden State (2012); writing Envisioning New Jersey: An Illustrated History (2016).

I love where I live and work and am happy to share my years of experience with buyers and sellers so they can make the most informed decisions. There is so much misinformation out there so please reach out with any questions! CURRENT LOCAL MARKET… We're STILL receiving multiple offers on new listings… homes are STILL selling above list price… there is STILL almost no inventory and the buyer demand is STILL extremely high… so the message is clear… Sellers – you have not missed the market yet but realistically how much longer can this sellers' market last? If you are thinking about selling in the next year or two then let's at least have a conversation about your options. Buyers – reach out to me so we can get your plan in place and make you as competitive as possible and ready to win in a multiple offer situation. I work with a limited number of clients at any given time to be sure I have enough time to dedicate to each client so please reach out as soon as possible so we can put together your plan if you are thinking about buying or selling. I work with a limited number of clients at any given time to be sure I have enough time to dedicate to each client so please reach out as soon as possible so we can set up a timeline if you are thinking of buying or selling this year.
