Books: Mesha Maren: Sugar Run
March 7, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Set in rural West Virginia, Mesha Maren’s novel, Sugar Run (Algonquin) begins as Jodi, released from prison after serving 18 years of a life sentence for manslaughter, meets and falls in love with a troubled young mother. Together they head toward what they hope will be a fresh start.
“Sugar Run is a shining debut. This is a book that loves its wounded characters and troubled places, and in so deeply loving, it finds a terrible truth and beauty where other writers wouldn’t have found the courage to look.”-Lauren Groth.
