and discussion for Hanover residents on Saturday, March 27th from 11 a.m. to
2 p.m. at the John Curtis Free Library. Please contact the library at

Poplar River is a romantic wilderness adventure novel set at a remote
fishing outpost in northern Manitoba, Canada, where Karen Kinsley and her
husband Steve Marsten spend an unusual honeymoon. While learning the art of
fishing, Karen responds deeply to the beauty of pristine nature. Returning
year after year to the same outpost on Poplar River, her love of the natural
world and knowledge of fishing grow. She develops a mystical attachment to
certain animals of the wild-and that attraction is mutual! Some of the
adventures in the wilderness are spine-chilling, others amusing. Readers
will gasp, laugh, and cry as they live through ten years of Karen’s triumphs
and tragedies.
Judith Barban is a native of Atlanta, GA. She garnered numerous scholastic
awards and honors as professor of French, first in Atlanta at Kennesaw State
University, then in Rock Hill, SC, at Winthrop University. After
retirement, Judith’s first novel, Poplar River, won the top prize from the
Southeastern Writers Association in 2009, and has received glowing reviews.
Judith is a classical pianist and lives in Tega Cay, SC. She and her
husband spend a part of every summer fishing in the Canadian wilderness.
