Well-established Iowa author Zachary Michael Jack will be making stops in Marion County Monday as part of a statewide tour to share his latest book – which is based in a nearby small town. Titled What Cheer: A Love Story, the fictional work centers on romance and courtship in the rural areas of the state; something Jack says is disappearing as the state’s young people move out of the state or to urban areas. Zachary Michael Jack will read from his new book on Monday at 2:30 p.m. at the Pella Public Library; and in Knoxville at 7:00 p.m. at The Next Chapter bookstore.
