Leah Zicari performs the songs of Joni Mitchell at Richmond Memorial Library, 19 Ross St., Batavia, starting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 24.

The impact of music in our lives plays a huge role in the book "Southernmost," the 2019 Richmond Reads Community One Book. One character in particular finds solace in the music of Joni Mitchell, which is reflected throughout the novel.
