Join Waucoma Bookstore and the Hood River County Library for an unforgettable evening as local author Kathy Watson launches her debut novel, Orphans of the Living. She’ll be in conversation with longtime Oregonian columnist Steve Duin for a lively discussion about the novel’s history, characters, and the craft of storytelling.
Set in the 1930s American South and California, Orphans of the Living follows the Stovall family’s flight from danger in Mississippi to a new, uncertain life out West—revealing a poignant story of survival, loss, and the ties that both bind and break families.
The evening will include a conversation, audience Q&A, and a book signing. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
