Book Event: Susan Straight

Susan Straight presents Sacrament
National Book Award finalist Susan Straight (Mecca) returns to Greenlight to present another novel of the unsung heroes of the California landscape. Sacrament is the captivating store of a group of nurses fighting through the first year of a pandemic, and the beloved California community they will risk their lives to protect. As the nurses struggle with the skyrocketing number of sick patients, when one's daughter goes missing, the resulting search and journey to find her leads to new love and loss, pushing all of the characters to their breaking points. Brilliantly highlighting both the quiet heroism and extraordinary bravery of first responders, Sacrament once again proves that Susan Straight is the “essential voice in American writing and in writing of the West” (The New York Times). Straight reads from and discusses the novel, before an audience Q&A and signing.
