VillageBooks Presents The Chuckanut RADIOHOUR

Join us for an evening of live entertainment including music, poetry, comedy, and literature. In May, we'll welcome author Erica Bauermeister, who's bestselling novels include The School of Essential Ingredients and The Scent Keeper. She will introduce her latest novel, No Two Persons– pre-order your copy today !

This book should be required reading for every writer, and desired reading for every reader. This novel traces the journey of a book from inspiration to generation to publication and beyond, and touches each life in a different, profound way. Bauermeister perfectly captures and conveys the truth that every writer must realize: that once you write a book, it's no longer your own. And each book's influence is as unique, magical, and important as it is unknowable. I lost track of how many times this novel brought tears to my eyes. –Paul
