Laurie will read from her book, talk about it’s inspiration and her interesting journey to publication. Much of the book is set in Kingston. Criminal activity, a forbidden girlfriend, a joyride—they could spell disaster for 16-year-old Kilian Barker. Then he accidentally meets Harry Goddard, a World War II veteran, living in a nursing home. What can some ancient dude teach a streetwise foster kid? Not much, according to Kilian. But those medals in the display case outside Harry’s room — they could be worth something. A coming-of-age story set in Canada and Afghanistan, interwoven with true stories of World War II and life in Kingston, Ontario.
The book is available at Novel idea and on Kobo. Barbara also has a couple of copies circulating. Cost to Non - Members of the book discussion book is $5.
