Refreshments to follow
YA author and educator Shannon Rogers presents her new book Eighteen Roses, a young adult novel about friendship and family. Lucia Cruz may be turning eighteen this year, but she is not the debutante type. But Lucia's mom has planned a traditional Filipino debutante ball for her birthday behind her back. So she's forced to cobble together a court of eighteen “friends” before her beloved lola arrives from the Philippines for this blessed occasion. How far will Lucia stray from her comfort zone in order to play the role of dutiful daughter and granddaughter? Will she do the unthinkable– participating in a school sponsored activity? Will she discover that her sense of humor can be a way to connect with people, not just push them away? Shannon discusses her work with fellow YA author Jennifer Baker, along with a reading and book signing.
