Reading & Signing: A History of Travis Heights The Travis Heights neighborhood in Austin, Texas, is comprised of three developments: the Swisher Addition, Fairview Park, and Travis Heights. Each of those three is unique. The history of Travis Heights is about the evolution of a neighborhood influenced by location and by its landscape. For this book, author Lori Duran has collected information and photographs from residents in Austin, the Texas Historical Commission, the Texas School for the Deaf, and the Austin History Center.
After years of living in an abusive marriage, one day Cookie Wagner snaps. She stabs her drunken husband and leaves him dying on the kitchen floor. She flees to remote Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, where she takes on a new name and starts a new life. For a moment, she seems to have gotten away with murder. But is her husband really dead or will he come looking for her and once again ruin her life?
We meet on the 5th Thursday this month. New members are welcome. Join us!
