Meet and greet local author, S.J. (Sara) Richard, whose new book, The Peacemaker, follows newly-hired marshall Jack O’Malley, as he confronts changes in a small Colorado mining town. In addition to being available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Better Planet. Sara’s book will also be available at the event for cash purchase.
“With war scars that no one could see and that would not heal, Jack O’Malley drifted into Kanen, Colorado in the summer of 1873. Hired to be the new marshal, he is confronted with the suspicion and anxiety of a once peaceful, small town with a growing mining problem (or perhaps it is a mining town with a small growing problem). Whatever the case, O’Malley swiftly learns that the invisible foes that stalk him in his sleep are nothing compared to the passionately pious force that is the Ladies Church Society and the beautiful but feisty Amanda Morgan, a woman who finds O’Malley’s lack of religion as disturbing as he finds her attractive.”

Tuesday, May 1st brings the arrival of Invisible Odysseys to BNML. A project of Susannah McCandless, Ethan Mitchell, and conceived by B. Amore, Invisible Odysseys shares the autobiographical dioramas of various farmworkers and their journeys from Mexico to VT as undocumented workers in a foreign community. Five of the artists are from Franklin County!
One striking fact is the contrast between the enormous distances that these workers have traveled in order to find work on the dairy farms in Vermont and the restricted lives which they lead when they finally arrive.
