Read the first chapter of A THOUSAND NEVER EVERS.
Did you know that you can learn about the history of our country by examining the hats that people wore? Well, Fred Belinsky sure does. He’s the owner of the Village Hat Shops in California.

As I wrote A Thousand Never Evers, I turned to Fred for all my burning hat questions.
