Centrum, Knutson Campus Center
William Kent Krueger’s book “The River We Remember” has been selected as the title for the 2024 One Book, One Community reading project. The project is organized through a collaborative partnership of the Fargo, Moorhead, and West Fargo public libraries, Concordia College’s Carl B. Ylvisaker Library, Minnesota State University Moorhead’s Livingston Lord Library, North Dakota State University Libraries, and the Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County.
Set in the summer of 1958 in a rural community in Minnesota, Krueger’s novel focuses on long-held secrets, fears, and prejudices that come to light following the murder of the county’s leading citizen. “The River We Remember” is a story of how we help one another heal from the wounds of the battles we fight in life and how we transform hate and anger into compassion. The themes of the novel center on the damage left by the wars that are fought abroad and at home and how people can heal from those traumas.
Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for this free author visit. A book signing will follow the author's presentation. Books will be available to purchase.
