Author Debra Gwartney discusses memoir at Beach Books SEASIDE — Beach Books hosts author Debra Gwartney for Lunch in the Loft at noon Thursday, April 18. The Illahee Apartments Gwartney will discuss her new memoir, “I Am a Stranger Here Myself,” which tells of her childhood as a lonely girl growing up in rural Idaho. She inter- weaves her story with that of Narcissa Whitman, the fi rst Caucasian woman to cross the Rocky Mountains and one of 14 people killed at the Whitman Mission in 1847 by a band of Cayuse. Gwartney grows up with a deep connection to her home’s landscape, but not to its culture. She never cared much for guns, horses or whiskey, and her memoir explores what it means to be a woman of the West. A recipient of the River Teeth Literary Nonfi ction Prize, Gwartney lives in Western Oregon with her husband, Barry Lopez, who also just released a new work, “Horizon.” The cost is $25, which includes a catered lunch and a copy of “I Am a Stranger Here Myself.” Anyone inter- ested in attending is asked to RSVP.
