Deep creek by pam houston6/10/2023 Deep Creek: Finding Hope in the High Country tells the remarkable story of “that girl who dared herself to buy a ranch, dared herself to dig in and care for it, to work hard enough to pay for it, to figure out what other people meant when they used the world ‘home.”’ In its chapters, Houston spends her days walking along the fences on her property, watching leaves on the aspens ignite into an eruption of fall colors, and caring for the animals on her ranch. And yet, twenty-five years later, it’s the piece of land that’s defined the largest part of her life. It was more than she could afford, and required more maintenance than she could manage. On an impulse and a good instinct, she spent her royalties on a 120-acre ranch near Creede, Colorado. Join us on April 25th at 7pm at the Napa Library (580 Coombs) for a talk with author Pam Houston!

Talented clementine6/9/2023 Even as Clementine’s antics escalate, the narrative avoids the pitfall of deteriorating into slapstick with the constant reminders of her essential humanity. Which is how you get a teacher to come and look at it.” Clementine’s quest for a talent includes gluing beer-bottle caps to the bottoms of her sneakers juggling her mother’s pocketbook, half-full coffee cup and her kitten, Moisturizer and leashing her little brother as a prop. When I was done writing, I curled my hand over my sentence as if it were too private to share. Pennypacker once again demonstrates her keen insights into the third-grade mind with Clementine’s priceless observations of the world around her: “At journal writing I did my idea. What to do when all the third- and fourth-graders are putting on a talent show but you don’t have a talent? That’s Clementine’s dilemma, and her mechanisms for escaping the talent show escalate into hilarity.
