Author reading on brain injury tonight at Bona Fide Books

Author Mojie Crigler will be reading from her new book, Get Me Through Tomorrow: A Sister's Memoir of Brain Injury and Revival, tonight at Bona Fide Books in Meyers at 7 p.m.

The book uses intimate and unflinching prose to chronicle her brother’s harrowing decline and miraculous recovery. Much more than the story of a medical victory amid a broken healthcare system, Get Me Through Tomorrow is about a sister’s metamorphosis from fearful naïf to assertive caregiver. It is about families bridging heartache to find hope. It is about the deep and enduring relationship between siblings—and the love that transforms them.

Her work has appeared in Tahoe Blues (Bona Fide Books, 2012), and also in Glimmer Train, Los Angeles Review, Drunken Boat, Hunger Mountain, The Rumpus, and The Believer. Her plays have been produced and workshopped at the Magic Theatre, Ensemble Studio Theatre, Carnegie Mellon University, and New York Performance Works. Mojie received the 2010 Howard Frank Mosher Prize for Short Fiction.

Bona Fide Books owner Kim Wyatt says Mojie is an incredible writer and it's a treat to have her at Bona Fide and I hope you can come!

Bona Fide Books H! is located at 1069 Magua Street, #4, Meyers, CA. The reading will be followed by a Q&A and book signing.
