Stop by and check out the art exhibit featuring paintings by Hope Phelon. Hope has always enjoyed art and has dabbled a bit at different times in her life, but never enough to really consider herself an artist. Then she discovered “paint and sip” fun and was inspired by local artists Barbara Orr and Carla Stroh. Phelon has worked in rural Wyoming community mental health for almost thirty years. A reception will be held on Wednesday, November 10 at 5 p.m.

“The Inheritance” is the latest novel by JoAnn Ross. When conflict photographer Jackson Swann dies, he leaves behind a conflict of his own making. His three daughters, each born to different mothers, discover they’re responsible for the family’s Oregon vineyard – and for a family they didn’t ask for. As the sisters reluctantly gather at the vineyard, they’re soon enchanted by the Swann family matriarch and namesake of Maison de Madelene wines; her stories of bravery in World War II France and her love for a wounded American soldier reveal the family legacy they’ve each inherited and change the course of all their lives. The ebook is available in Libby/Overdrive and the digital audio is available through Hoopla!
