We are thrilled that bestselling author of Olivetti Allie Millington is coming to visit! Allie will be in town celebrating her two newest books: Once for Yes, a middle grade novel, and When You Find a Hope, a picture book illustrated by Anne Lambelet. Allie will be joined in conversation by author Lisa Stringfellow.
Experience the improbable beauty of a shattered hope born anew in When You Find a Hope, a magical tale about a young girl, a tree full of hopes, and the power of perseverance.
In Once for Yes, the Odenburgh is an old red brick apartment building, the last of its kind in a swiftly gentrifying neighborhood. One of its tenants, the Laroe family, has suffered an unspeakable tragedy; the youngest sister, 11-year-old Prue, struggles to come to terms with the loss of her sister, Lina. But when the Odenburgh is sold and slated for demolition, Prue can't bear the idea of losing the place where her sister remains such a presence.
