Book Synopsis:
It’s the summer of 1982 in Blacksburg, Virginia, seven years after the suspicious death of a son and sibling. Told from alternating points of view by the four living Sobels, Pretend We Are Lovely is a sharp and darkly funny story of forgiveness, family secrets, and the losses we inherit.

“In magnetic prose, Reid offers up a scrumptious novel about the things we use to save our fractured relationships.” ~O, The Oprah Magazine

Admission is free and all are welcome.

Books will be available for purchase and signing.
