Submitted by Michelle Cavalier on Sat, 03/05/2016 - 10:57am

Thank you some much to everyone who came out to our event on Saturday! We were overwhelmed by the amount of community support and immensely proud to be a part of a community that seeks knowledge and information in the face of a problem that many would prefer to ignore. For those of you that were unable to attend, both The Livingston Parish News and The Livingston Business Journal had journalists in attendance and will have articles detailing the panel in future publications should you be interested in learning more.

Review: The Feathered Bone by Julie Cantrell

Submitted by Michelle Cavalier on Mon, 01/25/2016 - 10:36am

Many authors set out to write ‘important’ novels about ‘big issues’ that are meant to be buoyed by the stories that are pervasive throughout the culture at the moment. These are sometimes met with success, but Julie Cantrell’s The Feathered Bone is a different breed. This is absolutely an important novel with a big issue at its core (especially for those of us along the I-12 Corridor), but it is not meant to be buoyed by stories of missing girls – this is not a novel that feeds on the news. This is a novel that serves its subjects.

Happy New Year!

The end of the year is always a good time for reflection on this year's ups and downs and preparation for what is coming next in the new year. We often start the new year with big plans, plans designed to help us become better people, whether that is through diet, exercise, or other such resolutions. It's a time of hope for the future and what joys it might bring, a time to start over and try again, that the dawn of the new year might bring new and better prospects to our lives.
