Leonard took on the challenge of visiting<br />
every town in the state of Vermont<br />
by joining the 251 Club – a unique<br />
organization dedicated to exploring<br />
the Green <strong>Mountain</strong> State. With his<br />
two best friends in tow, he interviewed<br />
locals and visited some of Vermont’s<br />
most celebrated places. After living<br />
outside Vermont for over a decade,<br />
Leonard moved back home and decided<br />
to revisit the 251 Club – returning<br />
to some of the same places and reinterviewing<br />
some of the same people<br />
he met 12 years ago. He witnessed<br />
how Vermont has changed, how it has<br />
stayed the same, and, ultimately, how<br />
a humble wayfarer’s club shaped his<br />
identity forever.<br />
One Town at a Time is a comingof-age<br />
story that combines retro<br />
footage from 2006 with contemporary<br />
footage.<br />

Local author signing to be held at Book Nook<br />
Saturday, <strong>May</strong> 25, 1 p.m.—The Book<br />
Nook will host an in-store event with<br />
local author Christie K. Kelly on Saturday,<br />
<strong>May</strong> 25 from 1-3 p.m. Kelly will be<br />
available to chat about her new book<br />
– “The Six Gifts Part I: Secrets” – and<br />
sign copies. In<br />
addition, Grace<br />
Pratt of Sol Luna<br />
Farm will offer a<br />
flower essence<br />
and sound healing<br />
demonstration.<br />
At some point,<br />
we all question<br />
why we’re<br />
here on this<br />
planet, in this<br />
life. The searching<br />
protagonist<br />
of Kelly’s “The<br />
Six Gifts Part I:<br />
Secrets,” Olivia<br />
Alfieri has more<br />
reason than most<br />
to ask these, as<br />
she racks up near<br />
death experiences<br />
and clearly<br />
clairvoyant visions.<br />
It is in the<br />
aftermath of her<br />
most recent faceoff<br />
with mortality<br />

that we meet Olivia and her broodingly<br />
handsome husband, Marco. To<br />
recover from their ordeal, they escape<br />
to a secluded home on a mountain in<br />
Vermont. But this seclusion doesn’t<br />
bring Olivia the peace and healing for<br />
which she strives.<br />
Recurring dreams<br />
– or are they more<br />
than that? – and<br />
shocking news<br />
from an old friend<br />
galvanize Olivia<br />
into action and a<br />
cross-country trip<br />
that brings more<br />
questions than<br />
answers.<br />
“This fictional<br />
series is woven<br />
from true life<br />
events,” explains<br />
Kelly. “Though<br />
it expands into a<br />
universe we can<br />
only imagine,<br />
who’s to say what<br />
can happen and<br />
what can’t?”<br />
