“Just as a single rainstorm can erode the banks and change the course of a river, so can a single circumstance of a girl’s life erase who she was before.”
Winner of the High Plains Book Award for Fiction, Go As A River has been dubbed “a force of nature.” And on Friday, June 13 at 6 PM, author Shelley Read will join us in the Estes Valley Library’s Fireside Theater for a special Friends of the Library Foundation fundraiser. Attendees will enjoy a presentation from Shelley, audience Q&A, and refreshments.
Tickets are $100 per person and can be purchased here. Included with ticket purchase is a Friends of the Library Foundation membership, which provides advocacy and financial support of Estes Valley’s award-winning public library.
“Local readers will want to be there on June 13,” commented Carol Whiteneck, Friends of the Library Foundation Board Member and Chair of the Special Events Committee. “This historic novel is set in Colorado and Shelley has a reputation as an excellent speaker. Don’t miss it!”
Available for checkout at the Estes Valley Library, Go As A River is a Sunday Times bestseller, a Goodreads Choice Award finalist, and a Colorado Public Radio Books We Love selection. Kirkus Reviews writes, “With delicate precision, Read evokes both Colorado’s rugged wilderness and the landscapes of her character’s troubled hearts.”
In addition to her writing, Shelley Read is a mom, mountaineer, and world traveler who lives with her family in the Elk Mountains of Colorado’s Western Slope.
