News of the World - A Novel by Paulette Jiles - presented by NBPL Foundation
October 9
News of the World – A Novel by Paulette Jiles takes place in 1870, Texas. Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd travels from town to town, bringing news to isolated communities. In Wichita Falls, he is asked to return a captive 10-year old girl to her relatives near San Antonio. The old man and girl begin a 400-mile, hazardous journey. Bandits and Comanche raids and violent weather make life difficult. This is a story of courage and honor and the truth that these two things are often the possession of the unlikeliest people.
