Fate Moreland’s Widow, the haunting first novel from award-winning poet, environmentalist, and storyteller John Lane, delves into historically inspired events of life, livelihood, death, and destiny against a rural Southern backdrop on the cusp of modernity.
As Lane’s nuanced characters contend with overarching questions of loyalty and responsibility, he leaves little doubt these vexing dilemmas of the past resonate still today. New York Times best-selling author and Gastonia, North Carolina, native Wiley Cash provides the novel’s foreword.
John Lane is the author of a dozen books of poetry and prose. Lane is a 2014 inductee into the South Carolina Academy of Authors.
The reading is on March 5th from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Hub City Bookshop, 186 W. Main Street.
