Event Details
Join us at the NRH Library for an engaging discussion with Elizabeth Crook, an award-winning Texas novelist, about her most recent book, The Madstone. This free event will include a discussion and Q&A with the author, followed by a book signing. Copies will be available for purchase at the event through Half Price Books.
About The Book
The Madstone is a thrilling and beautifully rendered story about a pregnant young mother, her child, and the frontier tradesman who helps them flee vengeful outlaws, sharing a hazardous and defining journey that will forever bind them together. With its vivid characters and expansive canvas, The Madstone calls to mind Lonesome Dove and News of the World.
