GCC chooses 'Genesee Reads' book

Genesee Community College's "Genesee Reads" Program, planned in cooperation with the area public libraries, will feature A Northern Light, a mystery novel written by New York author Jennifer Donnelly. The author will visit GCC March 23, meet with students and deliver a presentation about her work.

Last year, Julia Spencer-Fleming's In the Bleak Midwinter, a crime thriller set in the Adirondack region, was the featured book.

Donnelly grew up in Port Leyden, Lewis County, and now lives in Brooklyn. She was a staff writer at the Watertown Daily Times before becoming a novelist.
