Join us at our Parma-Powers Branch for a conversation with Olivie Blake, author of "Gifted & Talented."Register: https://attend.cuyahogalibrary.org/event/12378400
Blake is the New York Times bestselling author of "The Atlas Six," "Alone with You in the Ether," "One for My Enemy," "Masters of Death," and "Januaries." As Alexene Farol Follmuth, she is also the author of the young adult rom-coms "Twelfth Knight" and "My Mechanical Romance." She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, goblin prince / toddler and rescue pit bull.
In "Gifted & Talented," Thayer Wren, the brilliant CEO of Wrenfare Magitech and so-called father of modern technology, is dead. Any one of his three telepathically and electrokinetically gifted children would be a plausible inheritor to the Wrenfare throne.
Or at least, so they like to think.
Meredith, textbook accomplished eldest daughter and the head of her own groundbreaking biotech company, has recently cured mental illness. You're welcome! If only her father's fortune wasn't her last hope for keeping her journalist ex-boyfriend from exposing what she really is: a total fraud.
Arthur, second-youngest congressman in history, fights the good fight every day of his life. And yet, his wife might be leaving him, and he's losing his re-election campaign. But his dead father’s approval in the form of a seat on the Wrenfare throne might just turn his sinking ship around.
Eilidh, once the world's most famous ballerina, has spent the last five years as a run-of-the-mill marketing executive at her father’s company after a life-altering injury put an end to her prodigious career. She might be lacking in accolades compared to her siblings, but if her father left her everything, it would finally validate her worth—by confirming she'd been his favorite all along.
On the pipeline of gifted kid to clinically depressed adult, nobody wins—but which Wren will come out on top?
