Local author, Faith Colburn is releasing a new family related historical nove,l and will talk about the book and the time period that it is based on. She shared the following description of this second book in her trilogy, following "The Reluctant Canary Sings": Caught in the run up to World War II, Connor considers enlisting, expecting he will go to Europe. Maybe he can protect his sister who's in Paris with the Foreign Service. But, it's hard to think about leaving home and family, for another years-long exile. Filled with flashbacks of his travels living off the land and letters to keep him tethered to his family, Connor's story spans two of America's most disruptive decades (The economic Depression of the 1930s and World War II of the 1940s) in which Connor finds his most closely-held expectations thwarted.
