Presented by Stillwater Public Library at Stillwater Public Library Stillwater, MN
Laurie Frankel's newest novel, Enormous Wings, centers on Pepper Mills, age 77. Pepper didn't choose the Vista View Retirement Community.

She fears it's cancer, dementia, a stroke, but the news is even more shocking: She's pregnant. Pepper struggles to determine her next move. Soon she has some hard decisions to make— and some she's not allowed to make. Laurie Frankel is the New York Times bestselling, award-winning author of five (going on six) novels. Her writing has also appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post, Poets & Writers, Publisher’s Weekly, People Magazine, Lit Hub, The Sydney Morning Herald, and other publications.

Combining a deep appreciation for classic roots music with decades of shared history gigging in the punk and heavy metal scenes, they play a style often dubbed "thrash-grass".
