The Bookworm continues it’s Live at the Library series with a visit from author, Allison Amend. Dramatic and lyrical, Allison Amend’s first novel, Stations West, is steeped in the history and lore of the Oklahoma Territory. Amend tells an unforgettable multigenerational—and very American—story of Jewish pioneers, their adopted family, and the challenges they face. Darrin Strauss, the author of Eng and Chang, calls Amend’s book “a super-readable, super-smart debut novel that comes just when we need it most.  It’s the most vigorous, passionate, and enjoyable foray into America that I’ve read in a long time.”  And Hannah Tinti, author of Animal Crackers, says that “Alison Amend possesses the rare gift of being able to fully transport her readers to an uncharted land.  Her version of nascent Oklahoma reshapes the mythology of the Old West, telling an enthralling family story that reveals the role of Jews in shaping the American frontier.” This event is FREE and open to the public! Invite the girls and make it the perfect book club night out!
