Gary Minder joins us to celebrate the release of his new novel, The Education of Asa Paxton

The advance praise for Gary Minder’s novel is glowing. Our excellent friend, author Frye Gaillard, says, “Gary Minder is a fine storyteller and sensitive student of the human condition. This is as powerful a debut novel as you are likely to read, written with a deep sense of character and place.” Intrigued, we’ve invited Minder to The NewSouth Bookstore for a talk about The Education of Asa Paxton. The book offers a historic view of rural life in the South through the eyes of young adults. Asa emerges at seventeen a handsome young man, a pariah still because of the company his family keeps. Secrets soon collide with the force of a tornado, threatening to tear families apart and send the innocent to prison— or worse. We can’t wait to hear how the story unfolds. Join us for this fun event with Gary Minder on Sunday, May 4 at 3pm.
