MG Associates is pleased to announce the release of the novel, Harkening: A Collection of Stories Remembered"

This new collection of family stories explores the subjects of truth, secrets, and understanding. Subjects that plague all families.

"Harkening: A Collection of Stories Remembered" is creative nonfiction - a new term for an old genre. This form is well suited for this kind of examination. The foreword explains how the author, Carolyn Howard-Johnson, describes true stories remembered as truly as if they were photographs and as creatively as if they were fiction.

In "Harkening", the author of the award winning, "This is the Place", recites these vivid stories as if each one were an individual snapshot put together in a family album. Each may be read separately, but together they feel more like a novel. A story that travels lineally from the beginning of one family's collective memory in Michigan as they settle in Utah and move out of it, Diaspora -fashion.
