Set in rural Montana, award-winning author Joe Wilkins’ newest novel The Entire Sky, revolves around a troubled teenager on the run, a rancher nearing retirement and a woman at a crossroads in life. The characters converge at the Bouchard family ranch where they form new bonds and create a life they never could have imagined for themselves. The novel tackles themes of redemption, found families and hope with its lyrical writing and strong evocation of place. The western Oregon-based author is heading to Spokane to promote the book and will be joined by local author Sharma Shields for a reading, discussion and Q&A.
