Join us for a meet & greet and book signing with local author Lauren Yero, celebrating the paperback release of her YA novel, Under This Forgetful Sky! This event in the Young Readers Series presented by The Hop Ice Cream and Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe is free and open to the public. Lauren's book along with delicious ice cream and bubble tea will be available for purchase at the signing. If you can't make it to the in-person signing, you may order signed books below. For personalization, use the order comments field to provide the name to which the book should be autographed (Ex. To Shawn). Lauren Yero is a Cuban American writer who was born in Florida and now lives in the mountains of western North Carolina. Her desire to connect more deeply with her Cuban roots led her to study and work throughout the Spanish-speaking world—including Chile, where she drew inspiration for her debut novel, Under This Forgetful Sky. In addition to writing, she works as a teacher and shares a small homestead with her husband, two kids, two pups, ten chickens, five geese, two ducks, and a couple hundred thousand honeybees.
