— from Jenny Pederson of Darvill’s Bookstore–
“Paddling with Spirits” author to speak at Darvill’s of her kayaking adventure
Irene Skyriver joins us to talk about her book Paddling with Spirits: A Solo Kayak Journey. Inspired partly by her own spirit of adventure and partly by the stories of her native coastal ancestors, Skyriver celebrated her fortieth year of life with a solo kayak voyage, paddling from Alaska to her home on Lopez Island.
As she encounters harsh weather, wolves, bears, whales, and the wild beauty of the coastal waters, she reflects on her own life and on the lives of the many people she met along the way. A wild, brave and thrillingly original adventure.
Refreshments and book signing will follow each reading. Please join us in supporting our local writers.
