Join us as we hear from the author, and then buy the book and get it signed!About Six Weeks in Reno: September 27, 1931. Today, my new life begins. After twenty years in a loveless marriage, Evelyn Henderson will do anything to escape her stifling suburban life. She boards a train for Reno, Nevada, a former frontier town that's booming thanks to  six-weekers : women from all walks of life who take up residence there just long enough to secure an uncontested divorce - a right they don't yet have in their home states. Evelyn settles into the Flying N Ranch and soon bonds with her housemates, who have never ventured this far from home - or societal conventions. The Biggest Little City in the World offers the six-weekers a heady taste of freedom: horseback riding in denim and fringe by day and being courted by dance-hall cowboys by night. But underneath the glamour are the grim realities of Depression-era America, as well as the devastating consequences of escape. As Evelyn is drawn out of her shell by a Hollywood-handsome wrangler and challenged by her new friends to reengage with the world in all its heartbreaking complexity, one thing becomes clear: six weeks will change her life forever. About the Author Lucy Hedrick lives in Sarasota, Florida, where she devotes herself to writing Women's Fiction. She is a National League of American PEN Women, Sisters in Crime-Gulf Coast branch, and Sarasota Fiction Writers member. Lucy is also the author of five books in the how-to genre. ................................................................................
