Brown Bag Author Event: Jill Hannah Anderson
October 7 @ 12:00 am - 1:00 pm
Join us for a free author event at the Brainerd Public Library! Meet the author, hear their work, and ask questions. On Monday, October 7, Jill Hannah Anderson will discuss her novel, “Closer to Home.”
The novel is set in 1977, where Joleigh Moore lives an almost-reclusive life on her small farm in Missouri. But when she witnesses the murder of her boyfriend, Mack, she worries the assailants will come after her next. Planning to hide out until Mack’s killers are caught, Joleigh stows away in a neighbor’s station wagon and lands in a small Minnesota town. Later, she discovers a large amount of cash in her journal and realizes Mack must have hidden his drug money there. Joleigh now has what the men were willing to kill for. Joleigh takes a summer job and moves into an old run-down cabin in the woods. As she gets to know the townspeople and becomes more and more involved with them, the place she once considered temporary could be her chance for a new beginning. But before Joleigh can have a future, she’ll be forced to deal with her past.
Bring your own brown bag lunch, or just enjoy the light refreshments provided by the Friends of the Brainerd Public Library.
