Join us as we celebrate the release of Corban Addison’s new book, Wastelands: The True Story of Farm Country on Trial. This in-person event will be free and open to the public. We recommend arriving early for the best seating.
About the Book: The once idyllic coastal plain of North Carolina is home to a close-knit, rural community that for more than a generation has battled the polluting practices of large-scale farming taking place in its own backyard. After years of frustration and futility, an impassioned cadre of local residents, led by a team of intrepid and dedicated lawyers, filed a lawsuit against one of the world’s most powerful companies—and, miraculously, they won.
As vivid and fast-paced as a thriller, Wastelands takes us into the heart of a legal battle over the future of America’s farmland and into the lives of the people who found the courage to fight.
About the Author: Corban Addison is the internationally bestselling author of four novels—A Walk Across the Sun, The Garden of Burning Sand, The Tears of Dark Water (winner of the inaugural Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize), and A Harvest of Thorns—all of which address some of today’s most pressing human rights issues. An attorney, activist, and world traveler, he lives with his wife and children in Virginia.
Wastelands will be released on June 7. To order the book, please see below for the New Dominion Bookshop book order form or call the shop at 434-295-2552.
"Beautifully written, impeccably researched, and told with the air of suspense that few writers can handle, Wastelands is a story I wish I had written."
—John Grisham
