Cave Mountain: A Disappearance and a Reckoning in the Ozarks Booksigning Event with author Benjamin Hale in conversation with Ryan Chapman
A compelling true crime story about two young girls who went missing in the same Arkansas woods twenty-three years apart and the strange circumstances connecting them.
This story begins in 2001 on top of Cave Mountain in the Arkansas Ozarks. A six-year-old girl named Haley—Benjamin Hale’s cousin—got lost on a mountain trail, prompting what was at the time the largest search and rescue mission in the state’s history. Her disappearance—and her account, after she was found, of the “imaginary friend” she met in the woods—would eventually become connected to another story that took place in the same wilderness more than twenty years earlier: a dark and bizarre story of a cult, brainwashing, murder, and the apocalyptic visions of a teenage prophet.

Bring your littles to meet authors Esmé Shapiro, Ruthie & Julie Fogliano of Because of a Shoe for a story time and activity hour for Ages 3-7.
About Ruthie
Ruthie is a prince (a dog) who has it all: a bone, a fish, and a piece of cake he’s been saving for three years. He lives in a castle (a house), is beloved by his queen (his owner), and enjoys beauty-naps, butterberry pancakes and staying squeaky clean with a daily bubble bath. But still, Ruthie longs to explore beyond the castle walls. Read More

Even then, nothing can come between the loving bond of a mother and their child. Not even a shoe. Read More
