B&B owner Deedie Runkel will read from Scone By Scone: Tales from an Innkeeper’s Life. 

“The stories about an innkeeper’s life are hilarious and heartfelt. The characters are unforgettable, the recipes delectable. But it’s Runkel’s flair for treating life as a delicious challenge, and for treating the most outrageous guest with grace, that make this book such a rich meal.” —Lisa Loomer
