Lisa Jenn Bigelow, "Starting from Here"

Skokie author Lisa Jenn Bigelow visits at 7 p.m. to discuss her debut young adult novel, Starting from Here.

Sixteen-year-old Colby Bingham’s heart has been broken too many times. Her mother is dead, her truck driver father is always away, and her almost girlfriend just dumped her for a guy. When an injured stray dog lands at her feet, she decides to care for it, against her better judgment. But new connections mean new opportunities for heartbreak. Terrified of another loss, Colby bolts at the first sign of trouble, managing to alienate her best friend, her father, the cute girl pursuing her, and even her dog’s vet, who’s taken Colby under her wing. Colby can’t start over, but can she learn how to move on?

Come get a signed copy of the book author Laura Ruby calls "the kind of compulsively readable, realistic story of love lost and love found you’ll want to read over and over again."
