Cozy Fest: Alison Acheson + Blue Hours

Alison Acheson joins this year’s Cozy Fest to take us on a Saskatchewan summer road trip with her novel Blue Hours (Freehand Books), a story about fatherhood, grief, and the small, magical moments that make life.

Settle in, maybe grab yourself a tart (you’ll see why), and enjoy Alison’s reading about a father and son, a broken-down camper van, and small-town adventures.
