SUMMARY:Mindy Misener in Conversation with Amy Leach
DESCRIPTION:Country Bookshelf is excited to welcome Mindy Misener\, author of the debut novel Good Guys\, in conversation with award-winning Bozeman author Amy Leach! Praised by Karen Russell as “a brilliantly paced and plotted novel\,” Good Guys follows two estranged sisters in a small New England town who become embroiled in a war crime involving a local hero.\nTickets are not required but RSVPs are always appreciated! Please RSVP by reserving a free general admission ticket at Eventbrite. \nABOUT GOOD GUYS\nGeorgie and Jo are sisters\, but they aren’t close. The situation seems worse once Jo goes off to college\, making it obvious she’s happy about leaving Curtisville and Georgie and their disabled father behind.Then\, Gary Clemmons dies in the Iraq War. Gary—the son of their pastor\, the hero of their hometown\, and the brother of Georgie’s secret girlfriend—was famous for being a good guy. \nBut Georgie stumbles on a dark secret about Gary\, and once Jo finds out\, things begin to spiral out of control. The fallout will change both sister’s lives forever. In the end\, Good Guys uncovers the underbelly of a small town—the darkness of patriotism and masculinity\, the harm caused by blind religious fervor\, and the ways these dynamics can destroy families. \nABOUT MINDY MISENER\nMindy Misener grew up in Maine.
