Former Bryant High School alumnus and teacher, Patricia Couch Laster, has published her first book, "A Journey of Choice."
Set in the Missouri Ozarks during the 1930s, it's about a young girl wanna-be journalist who hitches a ride to the next (larger) town, and the travails and experiences she has in the pursuit of that (and other) dream(s).[more]
"I have yet to receive the first copy printed, but folks tell me they've ordered theirs off Amazon.com," Laster said. "I will have some on hand, too, after a bit. This is a print-on-demand outfit, so an order will take several days. Don't know when it will be in the bookstores until I put them there."
This has been a life-long project for Laster, who is also a published poet.
