Lisa Bird-Wilson will read from her new book, Probably Ruby, and discuss the book’s central themes of adoption, Indigeneity, and identity. Ruby is a complex character possessed of devastating honesty and a tremendous laugh: one who refuses easy redemption. “In turns raw, tender, funny, despairing and hopeful, Probably Ruby tells a story that needs hearing.” (Michelle Good, author of Five Little Indians).
