They gave us the novel High Wire Moon by Susan Straight.
It was just an incredible experience to me to read a great novel and it is a good novel. You should read it if you haven't. Then meet and see the human being who wrote it.
Again, it's a great novel. It was nominated for National Book Award. I highly recommend it.
