Jennifer Haigh is a novelist and short story writer whose first book, Mrs. Kimble, won the 2004 PEN/Hemingway Award for debut fiction. Baker Towers, her second book, was a New York Times bestseller and won the 2006 PEN/L.L. Winship Award for outstanding book by a New England author. Her stories have been published in Granta, Ploughshares, Five Points, Good Housekeeping and many others. Of her latest novel, Faith, Kirkus Reviews writes, "Haigh deals with complex moral issues in subtle ways, and her narrative is beautifully, sometimes achingly poignant."

I will be attending the book fair and am going to try to see her. Please check out the link for the book fair for a list of authors/times/exhibits:
