Best-selling author Jacquelyn Mitchard will sign copies of her new book Cage of Stars at the Oshkosh Public Library on Wednesday, June 14 at 7 p.m. The signing will follow a brief reading from the novel. The free event will be held on the SECOND floor of the library
The author’s note on the novel says “Cage of Stars is just a little different from other stories I’ve written; but I think the truths of grief, love and joy still thread through the weave.” A 12-year-old girl’s life is shattered when her two younger sisters are murdered. Her parents find the strength in their religion to forgive the mentally-ill killer, but Ronnie cannot. She carries her grief, guilt and anger with her, eventually organizes her life around revenge and prepares to act on it. The Library Journal reviewer called it her best book yet.
Mitchard is best known for Deep End of the Ocean, her first novel and the first Oprah Book Club Selection. She has for many years written a column that appears in the Sunday Milwaukee Journal.
Copies of the book are for sale in advance of the evening at Apple Blossom Books and Paper Tiger Bookstore. Paper Tiger will also be selling copies at the library from 6 p.m. on the evening of the signing.
