"Family, Memory, Place: a writing workshop" - August 22 at 2:00 PM

What family stories do you carry with you? What story do you tell over and over? What landscape do you cherish the most? One of the deepest human instincts is to tell our life stories, to figure out who we are and what it means to be human. Join us on Saturday, August 22nd at 2:00 PM for an interactive workshop led by Martha Andrews Donovan and Maura MacNeil that explores how the landscapes of our lives shape the stories that we tell. Participants explore the themes of family, memory, and place through sample narratives and a series of short writing exercises, gaining a deeper awareness of how their stories can preserve personal, generational, and communal history.  Sponsored by the Friends of the Lane Library, this workshop is free and open to all.

On his way to Australia, frontier opportunist Jason McCullough  stumbles into a small gold-rush town and decides to earn a little extra pocket money by accepting a temporary assignment as its sheriff.
