    `Nowhere, a Story of Exile' by Anna Astvatsaturian Turcotte;
    hybooksonline.com, 2013, 310 pages.

    Anna Astvatsaturian Turcotte, author of `Nowhere, a Story of Exile,'
    will be visiting the Grand Forks area Oct. 3 and 4. Turcotte is an
    Armenian refugee from Baku, Azerbaijan, whose family settled in
    Wahpeton, N.D., in 1992. She attended UND and received degrees in
    English & Literature and Philosophy & Religion before attending law
    school at the University of Maine School of Law in Portland, Maine.
    She now lives in Maine with her husband and two children.

    `Nowhere, a Story of Exile' was published in June 2012. Through the
    diary entries of a young girl, the story documents the organized
    terror in Baku, her life as a refugee, and her struggle to find
    herself, all against the backdrop of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
    It is based on the childhood diaries Turcotte kept as a refugee from
    Baku, Azerbaijan.

    Turcotte will speak the morning of Oct. 3 at Mayville (N.D.) State
    University, and again that afternoon at 4:30 at the North Dakota
    Museum of Art, 2611 Centennial Drive, Grand Forks. On Oct. 4, she will
    speak at 11 a.m. at the UND School of Law and at 1 p.m. at the UND
    Women and Gender Studies Conference in the Memorial Union.
