If <Mulan meets
Deadwood in a Wild West
novel narrated by its straight-
shooting heroine= sounds like
your kind of book, a visit to
Paulina Springs Books might
be in order on Saturday, July
6, at 6:30 p.m.
John Larison, author of
<Whiskey When We9re Dry=
will be on hand to read from
and discuss his acclaimed
bestselling novel.
In the spring of 1885,
Jessilyn Harney finds her-
self orphaned on the family9s
remote ranch. She cuts her
hair, dresses in men9s cloth-
ing, and sets off on her under-
sized horse to reunite with
the only kin she has left 4 a
big brother turned notorious
outlaw.
While wrestling with
her brother9s identity, and
haunted by questions about
her own, Jess must outmaneu-
ver those who underestimate
her to find her brother before
the law does. Told in Jess9s
wholly original and unforget-
table voice, <Whiskey When
We9re Dry= is an epic as
expansive as America itself
4 and a reckoning with the
myths that are entwined with
our history.
Larison was born in
Philomath, Oregon, in 1979
and was a fly-fishing guide
and high school English
Sisters quilter Valerie
Fercho-Tillery has once again
crafted a special fundraising
quilt to support Furry Friends
Foundation.
<I just love what Furry
Friends does to help people in
Sisters keep their pets in their
home,= Fercho-Tillery told
The Nugget.
<Bark for Our Parks
II= features scenes from
America9s national parks
4 which, along with animal
welfare, are a passion for the
quilter. Fercho-Tillery told
The Nugget that the spectacu-
lar Glacier National Park in
Montana is her favorite of the
parks she has visited.
The quilt can be viewed at
the Furry Friends office, 204
W. Adams Ave., Ste. 109 in
the Sisters Art Works Building
(Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11
a.m. to 2 p.m.). Funds will be
raised through the sale of tick-
ets for a drawing that will be
held on September 9. Tickets
are $1 each, six for $5 or 25
for $20. One hundred percent
of the proceeds go to Furry
Friends Foundation.
Tickets may be purchased
in person at the Furry Friends

include a $1 fee to cover the
cost of mailing.
