Kenneth Cadow, author of Gather – the Vermont Reads selection for 2024 and a National Book Award Finalist – will read from his novel for young adults and talk about the themes of rural life, resilience, class differences, addiction and recovery, housing and food insecurity, a deep relationship to the land, and the power of community.

Ken Cadow, an educator and writer living in Vermont said about this book and the main character, Ian: "In my teaching career, I have encountered dozens upon dozens of stories like Ian's: kids whose spirits are threatened to be crushed by societal disregard. The kids who are able to pull through by the ingenuity of their skill set and the strength of their character, as well as the care of their larger communities, are some of the strongest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting."
