Description:
Blacksburg Books presents Author Night with Janet Beard on Monday, August 7, 2023.

From the author of the international bestseller "The Atomic City Girls", Janet Beard’s "The Ballad of Laurel Springs" is a provocative new novel about eight generations of women in one East Tennessee family, and how they pass songs down through the years, along with a legacy of secrets, violence, and love.

Set against a soundtrack of traditional ballads steeped in gospel and blues, these women’s lives are both reflected in and reclaimed by a rich inheritance of folk music. Beard’s flinty, finely-observed novel imagines the complicated, compelling stories behind timeless songs that have taken on a near-mythical life of their own.

Admission is free and no reservations are required. Just show up.

Blacksburg Books is located at 401 South Main Street, Suite 106 in Blacksburg, VA.
