Join us for a discussion with author, Karin Anderson, who will be talking about her latest novel, What Falls Away.
What Falls Away is a novel of family, art, and the raw process of healing. The main character, Cassandra Soelberg, pregnant at seventeen, was cast out by Mormon patriarchs of her community. Returning to her rural Utah home-town after forty years to care for her senile mother, she meets a young man with an uncanny resemblance to the father of her never-known child. Drawn back into traumatic scenes of young adulthood, she must reconcile with her past in the fiercely beautiful landscapes that shaped her.
