Author Carol Wilder will be reading from her book, Living Northern California 1975-1995, and signing copies in Coast's Community Room on Saturday, February 25.

Locals will remember and enjoy the stories of Point Arena recounted in Living Northern California. Former governor Jerry Brown said of the book, "In vivid and fast-paced prose, Wilder brings to life this legendary period."
