SUMMARY:Author Reading with Jolene Martin
DESCRIPTION:Join us as local author Jolene Martin reads from her book War Resisters: Standing Against the Vietnam War. \nThey risked everything to stand by their principles. War Resisters shares the untold stories of the Americans who refused to participate in the Vietnam War draft\, found refuge in Canada on Vancouver Island\, and built new lives\, forever shaping the communities they joined. \n\nBio\nDisillusioned with U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War\, Joline left for Haida Gwaii\, BC\, in the early 1970s\, seeking a new way of life. There\, she found solace in the natural world and the power of community\, living in close connection with Haida culture. Now living in the Comox Valley\, she carries with her a lifelong commitment to advocacy and storytelling.
