Quiet Until the Thaw

The memoirist and journalist Alexandra Fuller had nine novels rejected before she decided to try nonfiction. Her first attempt, a memoir of her unconventional childhood as a white girl in pre-revolutionary Rhodesia, became a best-seller and launched her career. But she never gave up on fiction, and now, after several award-winning memoirs, Fuller has published her first novel. Set on a Lakota Sioux reservation in South Dakota, Quiet Until the Thaw tells the story of two cousins who choose different paths to adulthood. Come hear Fuller talk about how her African childhood and new life in the American West informed her story and passion for the Lakota culture. One of her many anecdotes includes participating in a cross-country horseback ride from Nebraska to South Dakota with several hundred Native Americans.
