East of Denver is quirky and off-beat, funny and heartbreaking and much of it will ring true with anyone who has an adult parent suffering from dementia. Most people just don't deal with the situation the way "Shakespeare" Williams does.

Black but funny. The author created great characters. Fantastic dialogue. And he has a great feel for what it's like east of Denver.

Gregory Hill is a librarian at University of Denver and he is in a local band. This is his debut novel - quirky, kind, about relationships and coming home. Come meet him at Highlands Ranch Library 7pm on October 18th!
