ter regular library hours; no

The story of Vera is told
backward.
The reader finds out only
at the end why Vera left
home but it becomes clear
as the story unfolds that
she is part of a violent sub-
culture.
She is from a broken fam-
ily in a broken logging town
in rural Washington state•
She leaves the rainy
clearcuts and ends up in a
strange city, alone and se-
verely troubled, according
to a press release.
The book also touches on
themes of dwindling natu-
ral resources and the tim-
ber industry.
Missy Anne is the pen
name of Melissa Peterson.
Peterson was first pub-
lished nationally at age 21
by Seal Press.
Since then, she has re-
ceived a fellowship to at-
tend a writer's residency
at the Vermont Studio
