Sarah Dessen presents "The Rest of the Story"

Join us for an evening with #1 New York Times bestselling and award-winning author, Sarah Dessen, for her newest novel: "The Rest of the Story"!

Emma Saylor doesn't remember a lot about her mother, who died when Emma was twelve. Now it's just Emma and her dad ... until she is unexpectedly sent to spend the summer with her mother's family that she hasn't seen since she was a little girl. When Emma arrives at North Lake, she realizes there are actually two very different communities there. Her mother grew up in working class North Lake, while her dad spent summers in the wealthier Lake North resort. The more time Emma spends there, the more it starts to feel like she is also divided into two people. To her father, she is Emma. But to her new family, she is Saylor, the name her mother always called her. Then there's Roo, the boy who was her very best friend when she was little. Roo holds the key to her family's history, and slowly, he helps her put the pieces together about her past. It's hard not to get caught up in the magic of North Lake - and Saylor finds herself falling under Roo's spell as well. For Saylor, it's like a whole new world is opening up to her. But when it's time to go back home, which side of her - Emma or Saylor - will win out?
