Minick will share a presentation on folk healing tradition\, answer questions\, and sign books. There will be a limited number of his books available for sale that evening. \nJim Minick is the author of five books\, including the novel Fire Is Your Water and The Blueberry Years: A Memoir of Farm and Family\, winner of the SIBA Best Nonfiction Book of the Year Award. He’s also written a collection of essays\, Finding a Clear Path\, two books of poetry\, Her Secret Song and Burning Heaven\, and he edited All There Is to Keep by Rita Riddle. \nHis honors include the Jean Ritchie Fellowship in Appalachian Writing\, and the Fred Chappell Fellowship at University of North Carolina-Greensboro.

For more information on Jim Minick\, visit www.jim-minick.com. \n“Ada Franklin is a young powwow doctor in the Pennsylvania Dutch\, religious faith tradition. By saying sacred chants\, she can remove warts\, stanch bleeding\, and “take out fire” to heal burns. That all changes on a June day in 1953 when the Franklin barn ignites into flame. Ada and her mother enter the burning building to rescue their animals. The scorching heat\, the roar of the blaze\, the shrill bellows of so many cows trapped inside—all of it changes Ada. For the first time\, she fears death and—for the first time—she doubts God. After the fire\, she no longer can heal. Then Ada meets Will Burk and his pet raven\, Cicero. And then there is another fire.” \n“Fire Is Your Water is acclaimed memoirist Jim Minick’s first novel. Built on magical realism and social observation in equal measure\, it never gives way to sentimentality and provides an insider’s glimpse into the culture of Appalachia. A jealous raven\, a Greek chorus of one\, punctuates the story with its judgments on the characters and their actions until a tragic accident brings Ada and Will together in a deeper connection.”
