Friday, March 3rd, 2-4 PM:
Book signing and meet & greet with Dr. M Jackson, author of the novel “The Ice Sings Back.”
About The Book: Glaciologist M Jackson’s debut novel, “The Ice Sings Back,” is set in Eugene and the Three Sisters wilderness.
When a young girl goes missing in the remote wilderness of the western Oregon Cascades, her disappearance sets off a chain of events that reveal a long history of violence, abuse of power, and environmental precarity. This is a story of how four women make sense of the everyday extraordinary traumas that contour their lives, and how their individual strengths come together to sing a fierce hymn of survival.
“The Ice Sings Back” comes out on February 20; give Tsunami a call at 541-345-8986 to reserve a copy!
