Author Event Reminder!!
Join us as we welcome back Virginia author Pam Webber! Pam will be here Friday, 11/4, at 1:00 PM talking about her new book Life Dust, out October 11.
Half a world apart, soul mates Nettie and Andy struggle to survive--one in a hospital with ugly secrets and treacherous people, the other in the dangerous shadows of the Vietnamese jungle.
"Pam Webber did a fantastic job of creating a believable universe . . . The narrative style was sharp, invigorating, and exceptional. The plot moved with fluidity, the dialogues were crisp, and the characters drove the story forward."
