Join the Fort Smith Museum of History to welcome Fort Smith native Dana Jones Bagshaw for a book signing on Thursday, June 9, 2011, 7:00 p. m. at the museum, 320 Rogers Avenue.
Running from Grace is a riveting sequel to Mama Grace. Told from the viewpoint of her youngest son Victor, the awesome heroine of the Oklahoma frontier this time emerges as something disturbingly different: a ruthless and fearsome villainess. Victor makes his getaway from the oil town of Ponca City, Oklahoma by joining a Conoco surveying party in the early 1930’s. His adventures on the road, and with the women he attracts, keep Victor preoccupied until everything backfires in California.

She lived in England for eighteen years where her play, Cell Talk, about Julianof Norwich in Margery Kempe from Medieval times won theRadius religious drama award in 200 and is receiving its eighth production this summer.
