On Saturday, June 17 at 6:30 p.m., Jenny Forrester will read from her memoir, “Nar- row River, Wide Sky.” Jenny will share about growing up on the Colorado Plateau between slot canyons and rat- tlesnakes with her mother and brother in a single-wide trailer. Jenny’s powerfully eloquent story reveals a rural small town comprising God-fearing Republicans, ranchers, Mor- mons, and Native Americans. After their mother’s accidental death Jenny and her brother are left with an increasingly strained relationship. Her story explores the moments and forces that hold people together and shape their lives as Jenny shares her search for self while struggling with feel- ings of isolation. On Friday, June 23, at 6:30 p.m., two birding enthusiasts, John Shewey and Tim Blount, will share their book “Birds of the Pacific Northwest.” The authors will entertain with a slide presentation. The book describes and illustrates more than 400 bird species com- monly encountered in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and British Columbia.

Denson will take the audience deep inside the world of spies and spy catchers, a dysfunc- tional CIA family, and the secret cat-and-mouse games still playing out between the United States and Russia. This should be an interesting eve- ning while Bryan shares one of the strangest spy stories in American history. Paulina Springs Books is located at 252 W.
