La Rose: An Evening with Louise Erdrich

The accidental killing of a five-year-old boy threatens to upend the lives of two life-long friends. In an effort to repair the wound between them, one family turns to Ojibwe tradition for a solution: pledging their own son to the grieving neighbors. Louise Erdrich is one of America's contemporary literary masters. Come to hear her read from and speak about her new novel "La Rose", the last in a series of three books exploring justice.
