Acclaimed author, distinguished professor James Hoggard reads from his new novel, The Mayor’s Daughter. Hoggard creates a place like Wichita Falls in the mid-1920s where, as prominent novelist Sarah Bird has said, he gives us “an extraordinarily powerful family drama.” The potent forces detailed in The Mayor’s Daughter include both lyrical and raw turns in a world where a figure of courage rises in the midst of breath-taking cruelty into a hard-earned sense of justice and hope.
