The Only Way Out Is Through
/Tuesday March 19th 7PM WORD Bookstore, Greenpoint, Brooklyn
Pain. Confusion. Loss. Mistakes. Revelation. More mistakes. Recovery. One of the things that makes YA work is its desire to engage the messy truths of both adolescence and life in general. Here we talk about what it's like to engage messy truth and to craft it into a story with some kind of form.
