Join us on Thursday, May 4th, at 7 PM for an anniversary celebration and reading with author Karen Buley from her novel Perimenopausal Women with Power Tools.
Baby Boomer Beth Jorgennson crawls from the wreckage of widowhood into a woodworking class for women. Her four younger classmates spill their secrets during friendly get-togethers, but she keeps hers safe within her guarded heart. Over time, Beth learns to rely on new friends instead of clinging to memories of her late husband. But when a secret from her past reappears, Beth isn’t certain if she can handle her world being upended again.
Set in Karen Buley’s hometown of Missoula, Montana, Perimenopausal Women with Power Tools is a novel about love and loss, secrets and regret, friendships and revelations, identity and redemption.
