Canadian author Cathy Ostlere will speak about her new young adult novel in a free program Tuesday, Sept. 27 at 6:45 p.m. in Grizzly Hall.

Ostlere’s verse novel, “Karma,” is historical fiction that begins in 1984 just after Indira Ghandi was assassinated. Maya and her father arrive in India from their home in Canada in the midst of the violent aftermath of the murder.

Maya’s story is of a young woman who must deal with living in two cultures and enduring personal loss, but who learns forgiveness, acceptance and love along the way. The book is available in the library’s young adult collection.Ostlere, who’s also a world traveler, has written verse, non-fiction and a play, including a memoir, “Lost,” about her brother who disappeared without a trace while on a sailing voyage in the Atlantic. “Lost” was short-listed for several Canadian literary awards.

The program is sponsored by the Cody Library and the Friends of the Cody Library will provide refreshments.
