Kurt and Ellie Johnson are co-authors of a new book called,  "The Barrens" based on a fictionalized account of Ellie's real 40-day journey in the subarctic of Canada in a canoe.  A part adventure story with white water rapids and grizzly sightings and part coming out and coming of age story, The Barrens will transport you.

Join the authors on May 18 at Lush Lounge and Theater with Magers and Quinn Booksellers for a reading and launch party with a Q and A hosted by My Talk 107.1's Lori and Julia. Tickets are Free but must be reserved:

The book is available for pre-order here:
