A former Kalispell woman will come home to sign copies of her debut novel Aug. 16.

Willow Feller will sign “The Epic Undoing of Haley Ann Ewing” outside The Bookshelf during the fair parade, starting at 10 a.m. The book store is located at the corner of Main and First streets.

She now lives in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, but Feller grew up in Kalispell, attending elementary school at Cayuse Prairie and graduating from Flathead High School in 1982. Her novel, a fast-paced Christian comedy, was published in January by Evergreen Press.

In the book, pregnant Haley is battling for her very life — her life as an eco-chic, semi-vegan Christian, that is. She hadn’t counted on being thrust into a war zone when she agreed to leave her East Coast life and go with her husband, Rick, to the Montana outback for the summer. Rather than run from it, Haley decides it is her God-given mission to subdue and educate the redneck forces that discount her superior vocabulary and her superior hairdo. With no help from Rick or his freaky Aunt Win, Haley dives headfirst into her mission, only to find herself sucked irretrievably into a maelstrom of humiliating mishaps.

With tensions mushrooming as fast as her waistline, will Haley see that she is actually living out the reality of the scripture, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged?” And just how many car explosions and massive wardrobe malfunctions will it take for her to realize that it is her own critical judgments of others that are boomeranging back on her?
