Come to the North Danville Brainerd Memorial Library on Wednesday evening, May 9th, at 7 PM to hear local author Beth Kanell. If you missed the event on May 2nd, here is another opportunity to hear Beth talk about her most recent book: "The Long Shadow - The Winds of Freedom, Book One. "When Alice Sanborn and best fiend Jerushah cross paths with a bounty hunter in rural northern Vermont, the teens stage a daring rescue for former slave Sarah Johnson - but winter weather, politics, and challenges of mountain life bring more danger. It's March 1850 in small-town (North Upton/North Danville!) Vermont, and tempers flare over the 'right kind' of Abolition. Perils abound, including back home. Is it all Alice's fault?" Beth's other historical fiction books are "The Darkness Under the Water," The Secret Room," and "Cold Midnight." All great reads!
