Local Author Shawn Mihalik will be at the Montana Book & Toy Company Saturday November 28th from 11am to 1pm signing copies of his new novella, The Assured Expectation of Things Hoped For. When the beliefs of your parents are thrust upon you, where exists the line between self-discovery and betrayal? What does it mean to have faith? And is faith ever worth abandoning? In this novella from the author of Brand-Changing Day and Particles, young Kristy Kelly is forced to confront these questions. But like all answers, the ones Kristy finds come with consequences. And while watching the events of Kristy's life unfold, a young man in her community wonders if asking questions just isn't worth it after all.
