The following description comes from the event organizer.
Annie Bloom's Books welcomes Gemma Whelan for an in-store reading from her novel Painting Through the Dark, in which feisty 21-year-old Ashling O'Leary arrives in San Francisco in 1982 with a backpack, a judo outfit, her artist's portfolio, a three-month visa, and a determination to find a way to speak up about the abuse of girls and women in Catholic Ireland. Gemma will be joined by Joaquin Lopez, Portland's Cultural Laureate.
