Join a Cloquet author, Katharine Johnson, as she introduces her newly released title: Born Under the Blazing Comet!Everything Luna has ever wanted—home and family—has just gone up in flames. Still grieving the loss of everything and blaming herself, Luna is beckoned by her canoe and the river to start a new journey. Alone, she searches, hoping to find… a new life? A new home? An impossible dream?
Desperate, she enters a sanctuary that is really a prison for youngsters like herself, born while the comet flew overhead. After escaping, she puts herself into harm’s way to save the imprisoned. As the other comet-borns rebuild their lives and use their gifts from the comet, Luna despairs that her own gift—entering portals of the dead—is useless. What can she do? Where does she belong? Will she ever find a home, family, and a purpose for her own life?
Katharine Johnson is a retired CHS teacher and librarian. Her love of reading and storytelling has inspired her to write. Born Under the Blazing Comet is the sequel to Born in a Red Canoe, which was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award and is a companion to Born of an Eclipse.
