One Book One Valley Author Event

Event date: This event has already passed.

What if everyone was reading the same book at the same time? The Eagle Valley in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado does just this every spring — a community-wide reading initiative called One Book One Valley. During the next few months the Bookworm of Edwards, the Vail Public Library, the staff at Colorado Mountain College and the local high school libraries are encouraging the community to take part and read this year’s selection: The High Divide by Lin Enger

Come meet author Lin Enger and hear about his book The High Divide. 

In 1886, Gretta Pope wakes up one morning to discover that her husband is gone. Ulysses Pope has left his family behind on the far edge of Minnesota’s western prairie, with only a brief note and no explanation for why he left or where he’s heading. It doesn’t take long for Gretta’s young sons, Eli and Danny, to set off after him, leaving Gretta no choice but to search out the boys and their father and bring them all home.
