Join local author Virginia Fortner for a reading of her newly released book, China Conundrum, and get to meet with and talk to her after the reading!

“Adventuresome educator Regina knows only three words of Mandarin when she sets off to teach English in China. She isn’t prepared for the East in 2004, with its unfamiliar sights and smells, engulfing sounds, and truly overwhelming sea of people. When a U.S. State Department agent tasks her with sharing cultural and political information, Regina decides to do her patriotic duty and share information via Matt, a taciturn assistant on Capitol Hill-or so she supposes. But Regina is about to find herself in the middle of complex situations that she feels ill-prepared to handle.“
