11:00 AM MEET THE AUTHOR:
Michele Young-Stone will sign her book,
The Handbook for Lightning Strike Survivors: A Novel
" 'The Handbook for Lightning Strike Survivors' is a quirky,
intelligent, funny and well-written book filled with characters
so imperfect they look like you and me." The Raleigh News & Observer, Anne Clinard Barnhill
"Luminescent . . . Becca and Buckley’s parallel stories, as well as curiosity about how their paths finally converge, will keep the pages turning, while the complex, colorful characters, and the deep bonds that form between them in spite of and even because of the tragedies they survive, will live on in readers’ minds long after they reach the end of this powerful, beautiful novel."
— Booklist Starred Review
The title hints at something unusual: “The Handbook for Lightning Strike Survivors.” And Young-Stone’s novel is indeed eccentric. The story follows, in alternating chapters, the separate lives of two emotionally fragile young people who don’t meet until the novel is well advanced. When they do, events do not unfold predictably. But nothing in this novel is predictable, which is one of many reasons that it’s a delight. Young-Stone has written an exceptionally rich and sure-handed debut, full of complex characters, brilliantly described. The Boston Globe
