Guest Speaker: Villager Will Berry

Presentation/Discussion on his historical novel, Chasing Gods.

This book chronicles the calamitous life (1788-1852) of the author's 3rd great-grandfather which was guided by the revelations of charismatic prophets.  After the first, a polygamist, was sent to jail, Ephraim Berry embarked on a 600-mile Mormon wagon train to find another prophet who had direct contact with God.  But the novel's larger concern is the impact on the Berry family of Ephraim's single-minded guest.  A family without a mother, a daughter dehumanized by a polygamist patriarch - the story illuminates the female experience in a society beset by primordial superstition and discrimination.

Dessert and beverage will be served.
