The tallest peak in North America\, the fierce polar mountain loomed large in many climbers’ imaginations\, and Grace\, a doctor in Alaska\, had come close to the top\, only to be turned back by altitude sickness and a storm that took the lives of seven fellow climbers in one remorseless blow. Other expeditions denied her a place because of her gender\, and when a letter arrived from a climber in California named Arlene Blum\, who’d also been barred from expeditions—unless she stayed in base camp and cooked for the men\, Grace got a defiant idea: she would organize and lead the first-ever all-female ascent of the frozen Alaskan peak. Everyone told the “Denali Damsels\,” as the team called themselves\, that it couldn’t be done. Women were incapable of climbing mountains on their own. Men had walked on the moon; women still had not stood on the highest points on Earth. But these six women were unwilling to be limited by sexists and misogynists. They pushed past barriers in society at large\, the climbing world\, and their own bodies. And then\, when disaster struck at the worst time on their expedition\, they could either keep their wits and prove their mettle or die and confirm the worst opinions of men. About Cassidy RandallCassidy Randall is an award-winning writer who tells stories on the environment\, adventure\, and people who expand human potential. Her stories have appeared in Rolling Stone\, National Geographic\, the New York Times\, TIME\, Atavist\, Outside\, and Men’s Journal\, among others. She wrote The Hard Parts with Paralympian Oksana Masters\, which won an Alex Award from the American Library Association and was listed as one of the best sports books of the year by the Times.

Pellet DESCRIPTION:BOOK SIGNING\n\n\n\nClem C. Pellet\n\n\n\nJoin us Saturday\, June 7th from 11 am to 2 pm for an author event with Clem C. Pellet\, author of Murder on Montana’s Hi-Line. \n\n\n\nAbout the BookDuring an intense spring blizzard in 1951\, affable Clarence Pellett picked up a teenaged hitchhiker along Montana’s Hi-Line. Soon\, blood from seven bullet holes in Pellett’s back stained the snow-covered prairie. Following a brief manhunt and confession\, a heated debate ensued over capital punishment as Communist attorneys swooped in “to save this poor friendless boy.”Frank Dryman\, twice sentenced to hang\, escaped the noose when a sympathetic Montana Supreme Court stayed each execution. The “permanently insane and mentally deficient” killer was paroled into the custody of his brother in California after serving thirteen years of a life sentence. Eighteen months later\, he vanished. Using a series of aliases\, Dryman hid in plain sight for forty years despite state and federal warrants. Clem Pellett recounts the enthralling twists and turns of his hunt for his grandfather’s absconded murderer—the longest in state history. Currently\, Dr. Pellett is part of the production team for the movie Pellett\, based on this true story. The producers of Pellet hope their film will tap into the strength of the story of a central Montana murder that happened 67 years ago\, and the decades long quest to return the killer to justice. “It’s going to be a Montana story that’s told in Montana and with Montana help and resources\,” said Clem Pellett\, grandson of Clarence Pellett\, who died at the hand of Frank Dryman seven decades ago. “It’s also about the McCarthy era\, communism and how it was treated. It’s about the death penalty. It’s about the argument on both sides even from the 1950s perspective. You’re going to really step into that era. We’re going to put together that mindset on the decisions made back then\, based upon what the culture and the situation at the time.” Of the book and the movie\, Clem Pellet says: “I’m so excited to finally have the family story told. Fifteen years in the making\, doing the research – – combing through FBI files\, interviewing primary witnesses\, collecting documents\, letters\, transcripts etc.\, it’s very satisfying. “The movie has been a long eight years in production. We had to get through Covid\, historical Hollywood strikes\, and compete with other states for movie tax credit. The production team was totally dedicated to filming this in Montana and to make it an authentic Montana story. The team is so dedicated to authenticity\, we use the actual murder weapon as a prop in the movie. The film is due to come out sometime this fall.  “My book and the movie are completely complementary\, which is to say the movie is the main course. The book can be an appetizer or a dessert\, but between the two you’ll get a total story of the true Montana Saga.” About the AuthorMontana native Dr. Clem C. Pellett received his undergraduate degree from Montana State University in Bozeman and a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Creighton University in Omaha and completed his residency at the Mayo Clinic’s Graduate School of Medicine in Rochester\, Minnesota. After nearly three decades\, he changed careers. Inspired by his successful quest tracking down the murderer of his grandfather\, he earned a certificate of private investigation from Boston University.

Many of the great themes of the American West are at play here — man against the wild\, man against man\, and man against himself; killing and nurture\, numbness and vulnerability\, isolation and connection. I was stunned time and again by Riley’s tender exploration of what it takes to heal both heart and hearth.— Teresa Jordan\, Buddhist chaplain and author of Riding the White Horse Home When Michael Riley bought a 1917 farmhouse on the Yellowstone River fifteen miles from where he grew up\, he had no idea what he was getting into. Much of what was in store for him wasn’t exactly “a delight\,” including the presence of an enormous bat colony and decades of guano. But luckily for readers\, his memoir that chronicles reclaiming the house\, evicting the bats\, and contemplating the life that had led him to this post-retirement purchase is absolutely a delight. While he deftly uses his bat nemesis as a central axis to this moving memoir\, the book is a love story about a forty-plus year marriage to a remarkable woman\, about decades of teaching inspiring (and challenging) students\, about rivers and mountains and dogs and poker\, about sobriety and acceptance\, and yes\, even about a love affair—of sorts—with bats.The Bat House\, A Montana Memoir centers on Riley’s renovation of a 1917 farmhouse which he discovered was the maternal roosting space for little brown bats. Fifteen miles from where Riley was raised along the Yellowstone River in Montana\, the two-story brick house is an icon in the county. Built by oil drillers where only a buffalo hunter’s cabin had been\, it stood as a mansion close to the Milwaukee Railroad and a few hundred yards from the river. The memoir charts its changing environment as well as the author’s journey from loathing bats\, fearing them\, and wanting to eradicate them\, to accepting and honoring them. Four narrative threads weave through the memoir’s fifteen years in a vignette like structure: the challenging life of renovation\, a professional life 200 miles away in Wyoming\, family life\, and memories of growing up in eastern Montana.The book reveals the emotional trials of dealing with financial stress\, his wife’s cancer diagnosis\, drought and flood\, resolving an addictive past\, and the loss of venerable history. Revelation arrives through learning the crucial role of bats in our ecosystem and the unexpected benefits of practicing yoga.About the Author:Mike Riley grew up along the Yellowstone River in eastern Montana. He taught English and Journalism at Montana State Prison\, Cody High School\, the Texas School for the Deaf\, Blackfeet Community College\, on Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands\, the University of Montana\, and Northwest College\, and received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Journalism Education Association before retiring in Cody\, Wyoming. He has an MFA in fiction writing from the University of Montana where he won the TransAtlantic Henfield Award for short fiction and fellowships from the Montana Arts Council and the Wyoming Arts Council\, serving as writer in residence for both. He is at work on collections of essays and poetry\, as well as a historical novel set in first century Rome.Riley’s generous and elegant memoir of marriage and house-holding is ceaselessly instructive and unflinchingly celebratory of both. Read it. Then give it to someone you love.— Richard FordWritten in sharp\, smart\, precise prose that is charming and genuineeven in the moments when Riley is gruff\, skeptical\, or philosophical\, he proves exactly the sort of friend you wish you deserved\, the teacher you wish you had\, and the writer who you wish could accompany you everywhere. The Bat House swoops and dives with grace through beauty\, despair\, and wonder\, and readers will find themselves as plagued by the changing world and their place in it just as Riley is plagued by bats and lifted by memories.— Mark Hummel\, author of Man\, Underground URL:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/event/mike-riley/ CATEGORIES:Book Signing ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/unnamed-1-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20250309T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20250309T113000 DTSTAMP:20241207T023229Z CREATED:20241207T023226Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241207T023229Z UID:20104-1741514400-1741519800@wheatgrassbooks.com SUMMARY:Upstairs at Wheatgrass Books: Sunday Stretch Series with Anna Vanuga DESCRIPTION:Upstairs at Wheatgrass Books: Sunday Stretch Series with Anna Vanuga\n\n\n\nJAN. 19\, FEB. 2 & 16\, MARCH 9 & 23Seasonally inspired classes offering a gentle fusion of yin yoga\, deep fascia release\, and breathwork techniques designed to ease tension\, create space in your body\, and leave you feeling more open\, grounded\, and restored.  \n\n\n\nLEARN MORE & SIGNUP HERE \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n September 26\, 2025 \n\n \n @ \n \n 7:30 pm \n \n \n – \n \n \n 9:30 pm \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Add to calendar \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Google Calendar \n \n \n \n iCalendar \n \n \n \n Outlook 365 \n \n \n \n Outlook Live URL:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/event/upstairs-at-wheatgrass-books-sunday-stretch-series-with-anna-vanuga-4/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/unnamed-34.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20250216T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20250216T113000 DTSTAMP:20241207T023041Z CREATED:20241207T023039Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241207T023041Z UID:20101-1739700000-1739705400@wheatgrassbooks.com SUMMARY:Upstairs at Wheatgrass Books: Sunday Stretch Series with Anna Vanuga DESCRIPTION:Upstairs at Wheatgrass Books: Sunday Stretch Series with Anna Vanuga\n\n\n\nJAN. 19\, FEB. 2 & 16\, MARCH 9 & 23Seasonally inspired classes offering a gentle fusion of yin yoga\, deep fascia release\, and breathwork techniques designed to ease tension\, create space in your body\, and leave you feeling more open\, grounded\, and restored.  \n\n\n\nLEARN MORE & SIGNUP HERE \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n September 26\, 2025 \n\n \n @ \n \n 7:30 pm \n \n \n – \n \n \n 9:30 pm \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Add to calendar \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Google Calendar \n \n \n \n iCalendar \n \n \n \n Outlook 365 \n \n \n \n Outlook Live URL:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/event/upstairs-at-wheatgrass-books-sunday-stretch-series-with-anna-vanuga-3/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/unnamed-34.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20250215T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20250215T140000 DTSTAMP:20250203T042113Z CREATED:20250203T041413Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250203T042113Z UID:20179-1739617200-1739628000@wheatgrassbooks.com SUMMARY:Brittnay Sears DESCRIPTION:BOOK SIGNING\n\n\n\nBrittnay Sears\n\n\n\nWheatgrass will host Billings author Brittnay Sears for a Saturday Signing February 15th from 11 am – 2 pm. \n\n\n\nThe Left Hand\, the debut novel by author Brittnay Sears\, is a romance thriller based on the author’s grandparents.

A vision board can serve as a visual image of where you want to go in specific areas of your life. They encourage you to focus on what goals you want to achieve. When you create a physical image of what you want\, it serves as a reminder of what your priorities are and can serve as a road map on how to get there.  \n\n\n\nOn January 5\, 2025\, 1:00 -4:00 p.m.\,  Traci Isaly will head up a group of individuals who want to set the intention to manifest their dreams and goals for 2025.

She has attended workshops in fiction writing\, screenwriting\, playwriting\, and journalism through Tin House\, Harvard University\, the UVA Young Writers Workshop\, and the Iowa Young Writers’ Studio. \n\n\n\nShe is also an actor and singer; while at Harvard\, she toured internationally with the jazz a cappella group The Radcliffe Pitches\, and she has most recently appeared onstage in Relative Theatrics’ productions of Black Sky and Arsonist.  \n\n\n\nShe has a background in outdoor sports\, and has written for the rock climbing magazines Rock and Ice and Gym Climber. She is a recreational rock climber\, skier\, hiker\, runner\, and PADI-certified Open Water Diver. \n\n\n\nRos Demir Is Not the One\, a Junior Library Gold Standard Selection is the debut novel by author Leyla Brittan. \n\n\n\nABOUT: Ros will do whatever it takes to get the guy. At least… she thinks she will. Sixteen-year-old Ros is a go-getter. When she wants something\, she makes sure she gets it. But a lingering rumor (and maybe some ambivalence about her half-Turkish heritage) has kept Ros from achieving the kind of reputation she deserves. So\, after years of plotting her big comeback\, she just needs one thing: a hot\, adoring guy on her arm at junior year homecoming. And when she meets charming new classmate Aydın at the Pine Bay resort over the summer\, she thinks she’s found The One. It doesn’t work\, though. And things get messy when Ros’s plan ends up hurting the only friend she has left… poor\, sweet\, forgiving Eleanor. This has happened before—things tend to get messy with Ros around—and it’s getting harder for her to ignore the pattern of hurt feelings. Plus\, it seems like Ros and Aydın aren’t really meant to be. What kind of a plan results in everyone ending up unhappy? Not a very good one.  \n\n\n\nA not-quite rom com starring a bold\, outspoken antiheroine\, this Turkish-American Romeo and Juliet remix is refreshingly snarky. Witty\, whip-smart dialogue plays with the complexities of multicultural identity and female friendships\, from Ros’s very first screw-up to her unconventional happy ending. \n\n\n\nPRAISE:“An engaging story with a rightfully complex protagonist.”—Kirkus Reviews \n\n\n\n“Fierce\, funny\, and utterly absorbing! Ros Demir is Not the One embraces the messy interplay of culture\, identity\, and our search for belonging. From her reckless choices around friendship and love to her complicated feelings about her Turkish American heritage\, Ros is refreshingly flawed—and deeply human. A witty page-turner that breaks with tradition\, Brittan’s debut shines with a special kind of light.”—Anuradha D. Rajurkar\, award-winning author of American Betiya \n\n\n\n“The sun-soaked Romeo and Juliet retelling you never knew you needed! Brittan’s debut is a story about self-acceptance and owning up to your mistakes\, all while keeping life a little messy. You don’t want to miss this!”—Anthony Nerada\, author of Indie Next pick Skater Boy \n\n\n\n“An exciting debut that packs a lot of heart.

McCarthy is a writer who spent twenty-one years as an award-winning reporter at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Her work has been published in the New York Times\, the American Scholar\, Fast Company\, and other venues. \n\n\n\nThe evening will be hosted by Kris King who is\, among many remarkable things\, the executive director of the Livingston Business Improvement District\, a freelance writer for the Montana Quarterly\, and a freelance marketing specialist at Buzz Media. The reading and discussion will take place at 6pm and will be followed by a book signing and reception. \n\n\n\nA River Runs Through It and Other Stories turned Norman Maclean into a late-in-life literary phenomenon and then a household name after the success of the Hollywood film based on the title story. Yet fewer know of Maclean’s lifelong struggles to reconcile very different parts of himself: the revered teacher and writer in the intellectual hub of Chicago and the Montana man compelled by the wildness and traumas of his home state and family\, including the tragic Mann Gulch fire and the murder of his brother. Rebecca McCarthy’s intimate portrait of Maclean draws on her long friendship with the author from the time she became a student at the University of Chicago through the rest of his life. Irrepressible as a teacher\, Maclean shared guidance\, advice\, campus and city rambles\, and loyal friendship with generations of students. Behind the scenes\, he honed an art as meditative and patient as his approach to fly fishing. McCarthy’s experiences intertwine with stories from friends\, family\, colleagues\, and others to detail an incredibly rich life that seemed destined to remain divided-until the creation of his classic American story.
