Kathryn Trueblood, Take Daily as Needed

Bellingham’s own, Kate Trueblood is back with another fantastic piece of writing and we’re thrilled that she’s coming to Village Books to present Take Daily as Needed: A Novel in Stories.

Maeve Beaufort’s family is messy and complicated, rife with competing demands, difficult compromises, and on-the-spot judgment calls.This is a novel that deals honestly and humorously with medicated American life.
