New from Louise Erdrich - Shadow Tag

Shadow Tag

New!  On sale February 2nd.  Pre-order your signed copy today!
In brilliantly controlled prose, Shadow Tag fearlessly explores the complex nature of love, the fluid boundaries of identity, and one family's struggle for survival and redemption.

"A small masterpiece of compelling, painfully moving fiction."
                                                               ~Kirkus Reviews

Lost & FoundJoin Minnesota author Kate St. Vincent Vogl as she reads from her book Lost & Found: A Memoir of Mothers. Kate says of her work: "I swore I would never let my birthmother into my life, but then Mom died of ovarian cancer and my birthmother, Val, found me through the obituary. Hard to argue with fate. Harder still to let go of childhood promises. This memoir explores what it is to be a mom and what it is to lose one. And so Lost and Found: A Memoir of Mothers is for anyone who has ever loved and lost (or maybe even found) a mother."
