Doug Farmwald joins Gail Martin for another One Book, One Michiana event. This year’s celebrated novel is True Grit by Charles Portis. This marks the 11th year for the St. Joseph County Public Library initiative. Dinner & a Book has featured all 11 titles during the partnership. Gail and Doug talk about the grit of the western novel, an unlikely friendship and eating on the trail.
