On Saturday, May 12 at 12:30PM, Oakmont author Kathleen Shoop will debut her new novel "After the Fog" at Oakmont Carnegie Library.
In the steel town of Donora, Pennsylvania, site of the infamous 1948 “killing smog,” headstrong nurse Rose Pavlesic tends to her family and neighbors. When a stagnant weather pattern traps poisonous mill gasses in the valley, neighbors grow sicker and Rose’s nursing obligations thrust her into conflict she never could have fathomed. When the deadly fog finally clears, the loss of trust and faith leaves the Pavlesic family—and the whole town—splintered and shocked. With her new perspective, can Rose finally forgive herself and let her family’s healing begin.
"Kathleen Shoop has brought new life to historical fiction. With an incredible knack for accuracy and an eye for detail, Ms. Shoop paints a vivid, often gritty picture of post-war Donora, Pennsylvania. With flourish, and heart, she spins a tale of hardship and triumph in a time when the mills were thriving. Rose's journey is one you won't soon forget!" S.K. McClafferty, award-winning author of The Ghost and Devlin Muir
