The Castlegar and District Library will be hosting an in-person reading and book signing with Kootenay author Pat Henman on Wednesday, April 20.

Henman will read from her book Beyond the Legal Limit: Surviving a Collision with a Drunk Driver and will be joined by musical guests Rachel DeShon and Robyn Lamb.

The book recounts Henman’s accident, her physical and psychological recovery, the legal nightmare, the criminal conviction of the driver, the need for legal advocacy and support for victims, her involvement with the group Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, and her re-entry into normal life in Nelson after a long hospital stay.

The event will begin at 6:30 p.m.
