Looking for the right place to call "home" while rearing ten children landed Virginia Tranel and her family in Miles City.

Her recently-published book "Ten Circles Upon the Pond" from Random House/Knopf is an account of the changes in modern American life viewed through the prism of this Irish-Catholic mother and her children on the Northern Plains.

Ms. Tranel reads at Miles City Books & News on Friday, August 15th at 7 p.m. Please join us for this special homecoming event.

I've read this book, accidently discovering it on the new book shelf in my Texas library. Funny how so much of their lives intersected mine. A good read.
