Show Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, September 22-25, 2018 The Park Record C-3 Author readies her new chapter Kilpack will speak at Kamas library during festival LOCAL PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGEABLE INTEGRITY SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Author Josi S. Kilpack is ready for a new chapter in her life. The Willard-based writer, who will give a presentation and participate in a book signing at the Summit County Library Kamas Valley Branch on Thursday, Sept. 27, has published her first women’s fiction novel, “As Wide As the Sky.” “Women’s fiction is more character driven, and it’s kind of the adult version of a coming-of-age story that we see a lot in young-adult fiction,” Kilpack said. “You zoom into a specific time of a woman’s life where she is going through a life-changing transition and discovering something new about herself.” “As Wide As the Sky” follows Amanda Mallorie, whose son, Robbie, is a convicted mass shooter, as she begins a journey that takes her back to the time when there was more optimism in her life. “While Robbie’s choices have landed him in this situation, there may still be time for her to find forgiveness and trust to grow again,” Kilpack said. Kilpack will discuss the book during the Sept. 27 event. “The only thing was I wanted to make sure I told a fresh story,” she said. “The emotional aspects, which drive the story, is what I would do if I was in this situation, how would I feel about what I would do, how would my other relationships be affected and how would I balance things out.” The trick was not writing a melodrama. “I really wanted it to feel real, and I wanted anyone who reads it to find a way to connect with the story,” Kilpack said. “If there is too much drama, the story becomes theatrical, and I wanted to avoid that.” “As Wide As the Sky” was originally going to be a short story and part of an anthology that included stories written by some of Kilpack’s friends. The theme of the anthology was “Lost and Found,” and in thinking about her story, Kilpack remembered an incident that involved her husband’s uncle 20 years ago. “He had received a package from his old high school, and the package contained his class ring, which he lost at Strawberry Reservoir 20 years prior to that,” she said. “Someone had found it and saw what high school it was from and sent it to the high school. The high school staff managed to find out it was his.” Kilpack participated in a weekend writer’s retreat and began writing a romance that centered around someone finding a ring. “The story changed and RESOURCEFUL Ireland Highlights 8 Day Tour ORGANIZED “It’s essential to have a local, knowledgeable professional as a resource to help you with your buying or selling needs.
