Kirkpatrick returns to Sisters for reading

Central Oregon author Jane Kirkpatrick will give a reading and book signing of her newest book, "The Memory Weaver" on Wednesday, September 23 at 6:30 p.m. at Paulina Springs Books in Sisters.

This historical novel is based on the true story of Eliza Spalding. When Eliza was 10 years old, measles and pain, betrayal and misunderstandings between Native Americans and the settlers at the mission brought on a tragedy known still today as the Whitman

Massacre.

Fourteen people died on November 29, 1847, and 54 others were held hostage for 47 days. Young Eliza Spalding, the only hostage who knew the native language, was one of them.

Later in life, she journeyed back to the site of her harshest memories. Would the journey bring her peace and healing?

Refreshments will be served. A $5 admission fee will be refunded when you buy the featured book.

Paulina Springs Books is located at 252 W. Hood Ave.
