Meet Brian Hester, author of "She Talks to Fish"

Join us for a special event with Brian Hester, co-author of a powerful new novel about Maya Jones, a young woman from North Carolina whose journey into fly fishing becomes a story of resilience, belonging, and hope. Guided by her mentor, Ed Myers, Maya learns to face prejudice, hardship, and loss with courage while discovering strength, love, and purpose along the way.

Brian Hester, a lifelong fly fisherman and artist, collaborated with storyteller Barbara Beam — songwriter, screenwriter, and novelist — to bring Maya’s journey to life.
