19 7:00 p.m. Trinidad Library, Author Glory Ralston & New Book, 'Found in the Woods'.September 19, 2019, 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM @ Trinidad Branch Library
7:00 p.m. Trinidad Library, Author Glory Ralston & New Book, 'Found in the Woods'.2019-09-19T19:00:00Local author Glory Ralston has released her third novel, 'Found in the Woods'. In this story, Ralston takes us even deeper into the redwood forests of far-northern California. 'Found in the Woods' is the fascinating and poignant story of how a series of up-close photographs of a wild black bear—seemingly impossible to capture—came to be. Told with the same clarity and understanding of our area that made Ralston’s other novels so memorable, 'Found in the Woods' is a gentle reminder that the earth does not belong only to its human inhabitants.

6:00 p.m. Arcata Library, A Novel Idea Book Group, The House of Broken Angels2019-09-26T18:00:00Luis Alberto Urrea's novel, according to Kirkus Review, is 'a wise, funny, tragic family saga that asks what it means to be American.' The hero, Miguel Angel de la Cruz, or Big Angel, is dying. He decides to throw a final birthday party for himself. The plot thickens, though, when his mother dies first. An accomplished writer of fiction and nonfiction, Urrea bases Big Angel, on his oldest brother, who passed a month after their mother died. The de la Cruzes are a messy, complicated, loyal family: 'All we do, mija,' Big Angel tells his daughter, 'is love. Love is the answer. Nothing stops it. Not borders. Not death.' Urrea’s novel clearly celebrates the American experience and familial strength with real people struggling in a harsh world.
