Please join us for a Literary Luncheon at Two Samuels restaurant in Spartanburg with New York Times-bestselling author Joshilyn Jackson, as she stops in Spartanburg on a book tour with a brand-new novel. The $20 ticket includes an appetizer, entree with two sides, dessert and drink. The events begin at noon. Books will be available for purchase, and the author will sign.
Joshilyn Jackson's newest book is A Grown Up Kind of Pretty (Grand Central Publishing, 2012). She is the author of four previous novels: Gods in Alabama, Between, Georgia, The Girl Who Stopped Swimming, and Backseat Saints. Her books have been translated into a dozen languages, won SIBA’s novel of the year, twice been a #1 Book Sense Pick, and been shortlisted for the Townsend prize. In her newest novel, every fifteen years, trouble comes after the Slocumb women. Now, as their youngest turns fifteen, a long-hidden grave is unearthed in the backyard. Headstrong young Mosey Slocumb is determined to find out who used their yard as a make-shift cemetery, and why. What she learns could cost her family everything. As forty-five year old Ginny fights to protect Mosey from the truth, she’s thrown back into the arms of the long-lost---and married---love of her life. Between them is Liza, silenced by a stroke, with the answers trapped inside her. To survive Liza's secrets and Mosey's insistent adventures, Ginny must learn to trust the love that braids the strands of their past---and stop at nothing to defend their future.
