Wednesday, April 18 at 7 PM
In After Eden, San Francisco writer Valerie
Miner relates the story of a community of women in Northern
California's Mackenzie Valley, where Chicago city planner Emily Adams
decides to live after the sudden death of her life partner. In the
modern-day Eden of California's coastal range, Emily finds conflict all
around her: between loggers and environmentalists, farm workers and
immigration authorities, newcomers establishing a lesbian community and
long-time residents adhering to traditional ways. The novel is a unique
look at a new American West.
