Charles J. Koutnik Book Signing

Charles J. Koutnik, a Maple Heights native who now resides in Virginia, is an accomplished photographer and educator. He recently made his debut with Nite's Passage, a work of historical fiction that follows a young soldier through the end of the American Civil War, Appomattox and his eventual journey north to Ohio, all the while facing pervasive prejudice and bigotry. The book references the American Civil War, railroads, baseball, social issues and philosophy. Tonight's reading and signing takes place at 7 at Visible Voice Books. Admission is free. (Niesel)
