Book Launch of The Allure of Elsewhere

Join us in welcoming Nevis native Karen Babine home and celebrating the release of her newest book!

In her mid-thirties and happily single, Karen hitches up her tiny Scamp camper and sets out with her two unenthusiastic cats, Galway and Maeve, on a journey from her home in Minnesota to Nova Scotia to explore the place where her French-Acadian ancestors settled in North America some four centuries ago.

Capturing the joy, freedom, and powerful pull of the open road, The Allure of Elsewhere is about the stories we’re told, the stories we tell, and the way those stories make us who we are, often in surprising ways. Intimate, curious, and candid, written with wry wit and warmth, this is a courageous and inspiring memoir.

This is a scoop for us as the official release date of Karen’s book is May 20!

Heather Bouwman returns to Beagle and Wolf with her latest book, Scattergood, which brings young readers to rural Iowa in 1941, where twelve-year-old Peggy’s quiet life is turned upside down by refugee arrivals, first love, and a heartbreaking diagnosis.

Jan D Payne lived in the Four Corners area of Navajoland, graduating from Shiprock High School before leaving for college and medical school. She
