Local novelist, Wendy Isaac Bergin, has published her second novel - "The Threshold of Eden". She will have a book signing and discussion of the book on Monday, January 11 at 6:00 in the church Parish Hall. The story takes place in New Orleans and covers the lives of Joshua, a gifted concert pianist with an overbearing father and obsessive tendencies; his neighbors, matriarch and gift healer Annie and her precocious twelve-year-old bookworm granddaughter, Sam. Their stories play out against the backdrop of an Eden lost, a wounded, post-oil-spill Louisiana and the ongoing struggle for survival of her people, wildlife, and those mysterious, mystical marshes. Books sell for $20.00.
