My final event of the week before heading home was a reading and discussion at Four Seasons Books in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, where I'd never been before! What a lovely town, and a bookstore just chock full of old and new books. The new owner is Kendra Goldsborough, who was so welcoming, and a full participant in the small group of old and new friends. We had a great discussion that included politics and religion and Appalachian culture and literature. And after that, it was up I-81 and back to the Northeast, full of images and voices, looking forward to going back in October for the West Virginia Book Festival--so good to have been home for a whole week.
