SUMMARY:Join the Climate Conversation with Kate Woodworth at Politics & Prose in Washington, DC
DESCRIPTION:“The power of community and connection in the face of climate change is explored masterfully in this beautiful novel. Little Great Island captures the fragile ecosystems of both our regions and our relationships and how resourcefulness can help heal both.”\n-Marjan Kamali, bestselling author of The Stationery Shop and The Lion Women of Tehran\nKate Woodworth, author of new novel Little Great Island will be in conversation with Jim Lardner and Mike Tidwell at Politics & Prose in Washington, DC on May 15th at 7:00pm. Little Great Island tells a personal love story between two very different people who live on a small Maine island where the lobster fishing is drying up and with it, a generations-old way of life. Enter the conflict between the year-round and the summer residents who must wrestle over what to do to preserve the island. The book talks will be followed by Woodworth’s invitation to claim some small environmental action to make a difference in a world of dramatic climate change through her Be the Butterfly initiative.\nBooks can be purchased at the event.\nFor more information, or to preorder a copy of Little Great Island, visit Politics & Prose’s event page here.\nAbout Little Great Island:\nOn Little Great Island, climate change is disrupting both life and love. \nAfter offending the powerful pastor of a cult, Mari McGavin has to flee with her six-year-old son. With no money and no place else to go, she returns to the tiny Maine island where she grew up—a place she swore she’d never see again. There Mari runs into her lifelong friend Harry Richardson, one of the island’s summer residents, now back himself to sell his family’s summer home. Mari and Harry’s lives intertwine once again, setting off a chain of events as unexpected and life altering as the shifts in climate affecting the whole ecosystem of the island…from generations of fishing families to the lobsters and the butterflies. \nLittle Great Island illustrates in microcosm the greatest changes of our time and the unyielding power of love.\nAbout Kate Woodworth:\nKate Woodworth is the author of the novel Racing Into the Dark (EP Dutton, 1989), hailed as “A compelling exploration of mental illness” by Booklist and as an “auspicious debut” by Publishers Weekly. Her short stories have appeared in Cimarron Review, Western Humanities Review, Shenandoah and other literary journals. A retired medical writer in addition to fiction writer, she has received numerous awards and recognition for her writing, including a Pushcart Prize nomination, multiple Utah Arts Council and Dalton Pen Communication Awards, and an International Association of Business Communicators finalist recognition.
