This event has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience, and for the disappointing news. Lucy Jane Bledsoe has several other upcoming appearances, including virtual events, that you can learn more about at her website.

Berkeley author Lucy Jane Bledsoe has won enthusiastic acclaim for her novels, including A Thin Bright Line. Now she’s woven a tale of love and friendship forged in fire, then reignited years later in the face of life’s challenges and pain: Tell the Rest.

Delia, a young lesbian, and her gay friend Ernest first meet at a conversion camp sponsored by a Christian church. Designed to “pray away the gay,” the camp’s program produces instead a devastating tragedy. Ernest and Delia disappear into the night, then into their own separate lives. But their paths cross again well into adulthood, as they bring their new and old burdens together, seeking relief from their haunting past.

Lucy Jane Bledsoe joins Kepler’s Angie Coiro for this tale of love, violence, sexuality, family history, and loss–and all the issues it surfaces. Join us for this fascinating conversation, as we celebrate the publication of Tell the Rest.

Masks are required for everyone over the age of 2 years old and must be worn at all times in the venue, and throughout the duration of the event.
