At this Local Author Day, co-hosted by Barnes & Noble, Inc. and Small Batch Books, and sponsored by Amherst Media of Amherst, MA, Anna Bozena Bowen read from her multiple-award-winning novel HATTIE.

In a spare and powerful narrative, this novel takes us on an intimate journey through the meaning of one woman’s life, and life in general, delving fearlessly into the complexity of our human relationships, our yearning for the divine, and the ways in which these paths cross throughout our lives.

This simultaneously mystical and very human story is the first novel from poet, writer, and holistic nurse Anna Bowen.
