Andi Gregory Pearson, author of “Scent Of The Wild” shares and signs her book on October 20th, 2018. Andi lives in Golden, Colorado and writes short stories and personal essays. She has a masters degree in education with a reading specialty, and minored in journalism in college.
“Scent of the Wild” begins in MacKremmon, a small town nestled in the mountains of Colorado. This is where the Evans family saga began, where Chet and Edie met and Ken and his younger brother Reggie were born. Neighbors gossiped about Edie’s unconventional behavior and appearance and often watched Chet take young Ken with him to his job at the garage. Still, the population seemed surprised when it discovered that one night Edie had climbed into Chet’s treasured Chevy and had driven off never to return.
What happens when a mother leaves a family? What happens to children when love and familiarity are subtracted from their lives? As the older child who took responsibility seriously, Ken’s life and choices were shaped by being abandoned.
Andi Pearson will be thrilled to meet you and to chat about her book with you. Stop in!
