Acclaimed literary writer SUSAN HENDERSON will speak about and sign her debut novel, Up from the Blue.
Set in 1975 against the backdrop of school busing, desegregation, and early feminism, Up from the Blue follows the story of an imaginative young girl, Tillie Harris, as she struggles to make sense of her mother’s mysterious disappearance and her rapidly deteriorating home life.
Jamie Ford, author of the New York Times bestselling novel Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, has this to say about Up from the Blue, “This is a book that you will love completely, even as it hurts you. It is a heartbreaking, rewarding story that still haunts me. I absolutely loved this book…gushingly, unequivocally, loved it.”
