Roger Meadows “Devil’s Lane” Book Signing Oct. 15 at Library Center

October 6, 2016 — South Carolina-based author Roger Meadows will sell and sign copies of his third novel, “Devil’s Lane,” from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 15, in the Library Center concourse.

Anna Friedrich is a young girl growing up in the hills of southwest Missouri, 15 years after the end of the Civil War. As the community around her is attempting to recover from that conflict, Anna’s family suffers a tragic loss and begins to disintegrate. Anna is placed in servitude by her father and abandoned. She is determined to make the most of it but encounters another life-altering trauma. Cast adrift again, she must reach within herself to overcome the odds she faces.

“Devil’s Lane” offers a portrayal of life in rural Taney County in the 1880s, from an author whose family lived in the Ozarks in the same period. It includes a wide cast of characters involved in human situations: hostility and kindness; tragedy and hope; jealousy and unselfishness.
