KERRY REICHS
Sunday, May 11 at 2 p.m.

Co-presented with HEDGEBROOK. Lawyer-turned-novelist Kerry Reichs, who honed some of her writing skills up at Hedgebrook, the renowned women writers' retreat on Whidbey Island, returns to the Northwest to read from her charming, romantic debut novel, The Best Day of Someone Else's Life (Avon). "Reichs is the daughter of bestselling thriller writer Kathy Reichs [yes, it's Mother's Day, we celebrate ...], and her cute romantic comedy debut makes BDOYL syndrome—imagining your wedding day as the 'Best Day of Your Life'—scarily palpable. A 20-something Washington, D.C. wine buyer, 'Vi' Connelly (née Kevin—her parents expected a boy) embarks on an excruciating, crushingly expensive odyssey: she attends more weddings than you can count on two hands in less than two years, all the while searching for the love of her life, and mooning over her lost first love Caleb Carter." – Publishers Weekly.
