Join us on Zoom as local author and Belmontonian Sara B Fraser reads from and discusses her new novel Just River.

Kirkus Reviews stated of Just River that "set in the last days of the 20th century in a crumbling, but still grittily colorful, industrial city in upstate New York, the story opens at “The End”—a scene of destruction that unravels in vignettes and still shots: a car upside down in a river; a diary floating away, its sentences dissolving in the water; a man with a gunshot wound flailing in the rapids...The work’s outlook is far from hopeless, however, and the indomitable central characters find that it’s their vulnerability, when shared, that gives them the strength they need to prevail. A shrewd and vibrant story of the resilience of ordinary people."
