Rosalind Press will have a book signing of Saddle Shoes and Stardust, by Ruth Wire, together with Hilary Jacobson’s novel, Red Madder Root, on Saturday, January 7, 2023 at the Ashland Library’s Gresham Room 2-4 pm. Free refreshments.

Phoebe’s high school years in post-WWII Los Angeles are turbulent with adolescent yearnings, her first love, and her determination to be a nurse against her father’s wishes.

The Night Birds Still Sing, Ruth’s first novel in the Phoebe Rising series, will also be available. 

Hilary’s Red Madder Root tells a different girlhood story, traversing thousands of years through women’s mythology, medicine, and history.

What do these two coming-of-age novels have in common? Be there and see.
