Folks participating in the One Book One Community read events will have the opportunity to meet an award-winning author. This book and author presentation will foster a variety of discussions including family connections, responsibility, guilt, and legal processes.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The One Book One Community planning committee was thrilled with the success of the author program featuring Allen Eskens. He was an engaging speaker whose humor and creativity captured the audience's attention. During the Q&A audience members asked thoughtful questions which demonstrated their connection to both the author and his books. As Allen himself said, 'The Life We Bury' is far more than a mystery book.
