Clifford Garstang will autograph and read from his collection of short stories\, In An Uncharted Country. Stop by to hear some of the award-winning stories! The related stories showcase ordinary men and women in and around Rugglesville\, Virginia as they struggle to find places and identities in their families and in their communities.

"\;This collection delivers on its title\: each story takes us into an area - emotional and geographic - that we may not have been before. There is an impressive variety here\, and Garstang's ability as a storyteller is on display each time. These characters are real\, vulnerable\, and always\, in unique ways\, brave."\;
-Elizabeth Strout\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Amy and Isabelle and Olive Kitteridge
