ALTON — Ruth Doan MacDougall, author of the best-seller "The Cheerleader," will appear at the Gilman Library at 7 p.m. on Monday, May 9.
All are welcome to hear MacDougall, guest of the Library and Alton Book Chat, talk about “A Writing Life: growing up with a writer for a father and what I learned from him."
Born and raised in Laconia, the author now lives in Center Sandwich with her husband, Don, also a Laconia native. Her latest novel, "Mutual Aid," is both a love story and a mystery and emphasizes the interdependence of people.
MacDougall has written a dozen other novels and is the recipient of the New Hampshire Writer’s Project’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Signed copies of her books will be available for purchase. Admission is free. Refreshments will be served.
