Settle in fireside for a rich literary discussion as KSB chats about her writer's journey and how TANGLES, her award-winning debut novel is redefining historical fiction. Centered on the Cold War years and the devastation wrought on an unsuspecting public by the Hanford Nuclear Plant, Smith-Blum weaves a deeply human story unraveling the tangled mass of government secrecy and those who kept the environmental damage hidden, until they could not. A little-known time and place, critical to the birth of the atomic age, Hanford employed thousands during WWII and the Cold War years of fear. Based on actual events, Smith-Blum's page turner is one you won't want to miss - not the chance to get your personalized copy to this riveting tale.
