This winter for Adults!

Jodi Lew-Smith Book Launch!

Join the Jeudevine and the Galaxy Bookshop in celebrating the release of Hardwick writer Jodi Lew-Smith's new novel, Asa James. This historical novel follows the life of a mixed-race orphan who grows up on a poor farm but strives for a different life than the one expected for him. We will hold this event in the Parker Ladd Community Room of the Jeudevine Memorial Library on Tuesday, December 16, at 7 p.m.


Jodi Lew-Smith is a biologist who works as a scientific curator, reading primary literature for the Candida Genome Database. She came to writing fiction later in life, calling herself a late bloomer among writers. Jodi lives on a farm in the Northeast Kingdom with her family, their apple trees, and their animals.
