Patricia Reis Event

CANCELED – Author Patricia Reis to appear at Toadstool Bookshop in Peterbrough, New Hampshire

This event has been canceled due to illness.

Author Patricia Reis presents her award-winning novel Unsettled. Taking inspiration from her own ancestors and history, Patricia brings together story lines from different points in time. In this lyrical historical fiction with alternating points of view, a woman begins an ancestral quest through the prairies of Iowa, awakening family secrets and herself, while in the late 1800s, a repressed ancestor, Tante Kate, creates those very same secrets. From the 19th-century to the present and back again, Unsettled tells the story of the deep roots families have, and the mysteries brought forth in their uncovering. A resident of Portland, Maine, Patricia is also the author of  Motherlines: Love, Longing, and Liberation, as well as several works of nonfiction. Come meet this delightful author in person.

PRAISE FOR Unsettled by Patricia Reis

“One chapter to the next feels like walking, step by step, into a haunted house. A great read: Once you start, it’s hard to stop. Even when you meet a ghost.”

—Michael Lesy, author of Wisconsin Death Trip

Unsettled is an old-fashioned novel, filled with characters as familiar as family pictures, as touching and as terrifying. Reis writes with assurance about the kinds of secrets that destroyed families generations ago — and maybe still do.”

—Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of Deep End of the Ocean
