About this Event
Please welcome Sarah Broyles and Hanna Schroy to celebrate Finish Lines!
This event is ticketed.
- Start time: 5:30 P.M.
- Run time: 45-60 minutes, followed by a signing line.

The author will be signing and personalizing copies of the book after the speaking portion of the event.
- In order to get a book signed, you must have purchased a ticket (which includes a copy of the book).
- For high volume events, post-talk signing lines can become very long. For such events, we recommend arriving and checking in to the event early as that will get you into an earlier signing group.
If you buy a ticket and are unable to attend:
- We will hold your book at BookPeople for 30 days after the event.
- We cannot guarantee that your book will be signed. While we do our best to try and get all event books signed, priority is given to event attendees and any extra stock is dependent on the author’s availability.

About the book:
Miranda needs something to write about in her college application essays. But what?
Miranda has a plan: ace her junior year, get into an Ivy League school, and skip anything that doesn’t look good on a college application. But the pressure is getting to her, and now her parents have cut her off from every club, competition, and committee she’s a part of.
Desperate to get back on track, Miranda sets her sights on the Texas Water Safari—a 260-mile canoe race her mom was set to do with her granddad. With her mom sidelined by an injury, Miranda joins her grandfather. It’s grueling, messy, and scorching hot.
Can a perfectionist survive the wild long enough to find out who she is outside of a college checklist?
About the authors:
Sarah Broyles started reading graphic novels years ago with her kids and became hooked on stories told through sequential art. She has a dusty English degree from the University of Texas at Austin, where she continues to live with her husband Chad and their two daughters—who have, bittersweetly, long since outgrown storytime with Mom. Finish Lines is her first book.
Hanna Schroy is a cartoonist and illustrator based in Austin, Texas. Graduating with a BFA in sequential art from the Savannah College of Art and Design, she is best known for her debut graphic novel Last Dance as well as a plethora of self published mini comics and anthologies.
By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business – you’re showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople.
Thank you for supporting Sarah Broyles, Hanna Schroy, and your local independent bookstore!
