About this Event
Join us at Village Well Books & Coffee for the L.A. launch of Julie True Kingsley's novel The Space Between You and Me!
Julie, the co-host of The Manuscript Academy, will chat about the writing process, publishing a debut novel, and the social ramifications of immigration stories in this lively and thoughtful discussion with fellow debut novelist Trish Lundy.
About the book:
For Clem, summers are for Maine—for wandering the blueberry barrens, helping her grandmother on the farm, and stargazing with her parents. But her grandmother is gone, she hasn’t talked to her mom in months, and her dad is devoted to the family business. Now, all Clem wants to think about is a dance audition that could get her into Juilliard. She doesn’t need another distraction. Then she meets Rico. He’s nothing like the boys back home in LA or the boys in Maine, either. His secrets rival her own and as they grow closer, she must confront the hidden realities of places she thought she knew. In Julie True Kingsley’s debut novel, Clem and Rico’s worlds are threatening to tear them apart. Can they bridge the space between them before summer is just a memory?
