https://www.quailridgebooks.com/event/maren19 - Mesha Maren won the 2015 Thomas Wolfe Fiction Prize for her short fiction and she is this year's Kenan Visiting Writer at UNC-Chapel Hill. Sugar Run is her debut novel: In 1989, Jodi McCarty, 17, is sentenced to life in prison for manslaughter. Unexpectedly released 18 years later, she falls in love with Miranda, a troubled young mother. Together, they try to make a fresh start, but is that even possible in a rural West Virginia town that refuses to change? Novelist Lauren Groff says "Mesha Maren writes like a force of nature." Join us for this searing and gritty story about making a run for another life.
