About this Event
When a young soldier from a small Maine town dies in Iraq, he is mourned as a hometown hero. But the discovery of disturbing photographs he took during the war threatens to unravel everything his community believes about him.
In her debut novel Good Guys, Mindy Misener follows two estranged sisters caught in the fallout, one of whom sees in the photographs the opportunity for a journalistic breakthrough. What begins as an attempt to expose the truth becomes a disturbing examination of American patriotism, religious loyalty and the protection afforded to men considered beyond reproach.
Misener is joined vby Emily Itami, author of Fault Lines and Kakigori Summer, to discuss the dangerous mythology of the good guy, the secrets communities keep and what happens when telling the truth comes at a personal cost.
Books will be available for signing, and beer and wine available for purchase.
