Novelist Louis Park To Give Talk At Palm Beach Atlantic University Bookstore On Dec. 8

Louis Hillary Park, author of “Wolf’s Run,” will discuss his acclaimed novel and sign copies of it on Dec. 8 at the Palm Beach Atlantic University bookstore in West Palm Beach.

The event begins at 4:30 p.m. The store is in Oceanview Hall, which is at the corner of Dixie Highway and Pembroke Place. The public is invited.

“We’ll go beyond the usual meet-and-greet,” said Park. “We’re going to talk about the pain and rewards of writing a novel and getting it published.”

“Wolf’s Run” is a mystery-laced love story is set against the violent backdrop of the 1960s Civil Rights Era in Mississippi. The novel tells the story of Holly Lee Carter, a young, beautiful photo-journalist left paralyzed while covering the Vietnam War.

When Holly inherits her family newspaper, she leaves Los Angeles and returns to the family home – Wolf’s Run -- in Delong, Mississippi. Holly fights to keep the newspaper out of bankruptcy and the hands of the Ku Klux Klan, and comes to believe that her father's death was no accident.

Returning home in a wheelchair, also Holly must deal with her own fears, insecurities, frustrations and the reawakening of powerful, long-dormant desires. Her hard-earned faith strengthens her, but will it be enough? In the end, the decisions she makes will change the county’s future forever, but may cost her life.
