Author Chris Bolgiano will read from her new book, The Appalachian Forest, A Search for Roots and Renewal, at the Old Sperryville Bookshop in Sperryville on Friday, Dec. 11 at 7:30 p.m. The bookshop and coffee house is located on Main Street in Sperryville in a century-old former Episcopal church.
The writer is a rare books and manuscripts curator at James Madison University in Harrisonburg who also writes on environmental issues and travel for numerous publications. A long-time resident of the Shenandoah Valley, Bolgiano uses the tract of land where she lives — a hundred wooded acres on the border of the George Washington National Forest — as the background for her exploration of Appalachia’s woodlands. These are renowned among scientists as the most biologically diverse temperate forests in the world. They also provided the foundation for the distinctive mountaineer way of life.
