Underage drinking is a community problem
and a community-wide solution must be developed.
One October Night is the very personal story of Mariah’s family and their community in the close-knit Butte, Montana, and the journey undertaken by Mariah’s father, Leo, as he seeks justice for his daughter and peace for his family, and a more lasting legacy for Mariah.
One October Night is available at local bookstores and gift shops such as 5518 Designs, Butte Stuff, Books and Books, Second Edition Books and Corner Book Store, and Butte Chamber of Commerce. You can also find the book through online retailers, or from distributor Farcountry Press at 1.800.821.3874, www.farcountrypress.com
