Olympia's Orca Books welcomes novelist Therese Ambrosi Smith, who will read from her debut novel, Wax. According to promotion, Wax is a "story of strong female friendship, sexual discovery, and long-held secrets," set in the 1940s, a time period that offers WWII as a background. Described as fiction inspired by the real lives of the era's many Rosie the Riveters, themes of civil rights and feminism will no doubt be tackled.
