Local author Don Smithmier will be reading from his debut novel, The Narrows.  

Set in the cabin country of northwestern Wisconsin, The Narrows is a story about the unexpected ways people find their way back to one another, and how redemption often begins with the decision to hold on for another season. 

Don Smithmier is a long-time Twin Cities entrepreneur and songwriter/musician with the band Rocket Club. He's also an American History nerd and baseball fanatic. He lives in Minneapolis with his wife, Annie, and spends as much time as possible at their cabin in northwestern Wisconsin, listening for the call of the loon.
