AUTHOR SIGNING WITH
TIFFANY ROSENHAN
GIRL FROM NOWHERE
AT KEARNS LIBRARY
4275 W 5345 S, Kearns, UT 84118
​WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11TH
AT 7:00 P.M.

Sophia Hepworth has spent her life all over the world--moving quickly, never staying in one place for too long. She knows to always look over her shoulder, to be able to fight to survive at a moment’s notice. She has trained to be ready for anything.

Except this. Suddenly it’s over. Now Sophia is expected to attend high school in a sleepy Montana town. She is told to forget the past, but she’s haunted by it. As hard as she tries to be like her new friends and live a normal life, she can’t shake the feeling that this new normal won’t last.

Then comes strong and silent Aksel, whose skills match Sophia’s, and who seems to know more about her than he’s letting on . . .

What if everything Sophia thought she knew about her past is a lie?

Cinematic and breathtaking, Tiffany Rosenhan’s debut stars a fierce heroine who will risk everything to save the life she has built for herself.
​
Join us as The Printed Garden partners with Kearns Library to host a visit with Tiffany Rosenhan. Tiffany will read from, answer questions about, and sign copies of her new novel Girl From Nowhere at Kearns Library on Wednesday evening, August 11th. This event is free and open to the public, and will begin at 7:00 p.m!

AUTHOR SIGNING WITH
LAURI
SCHOENFELD
LITTLE OWL
AT THE PRINTED GARDEN
​SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4TH
AT 7:00 P.M.

Adaline Rushner is a woman in pieces.  Her daughters have gone missing, and although the authorities seem to have found their bodies, something still isn't right.  Her husband, Cache, can't bear the pain and wants to move on, but Adaline can't shake the feeling they're still alive. She even starts seeing them in the house, though Cache does not.  Adaline wonders whether this current tragedy has something to do with the misfortune and painful experiences she suffered in her own childhood, but her memories have gaps in them that she can't quite close on her own.

After Adaline and Cache move to Salt Lake City, everything gets even stranger.  Local cop Officer Abbott thinks her distinctive owl necklace may somehow link to his own missing daughter.  Her neighbor Maggie offers assistance and comfort, but she suspects her of hiding other truths from her.  As Adaline tries to prepare for her girls' eventual return while investigating her own past forgotten traumas, a threatening message urges her to let the past stay forgotten. Can Adaline find the truth and save her marriage to Cache, or will the tangled web of memories from her past keep her from moving on?

Author Lauri Schoenfeld's psychological thriller is a suspenseful tale of family trauma, discovering our inner strength, and understanding the power of forgiveness.

Please join us Saturday evening, September 4th as we welcome Lauri Schoenfeld to The Printed Garded to read from, answer questions about, and sign copies of her debut thriller, Little Owl.  This event is free and open to the public, and will begin at 7:00 p.m.

At the present time, we're asking everyone to bring and wear a facemask to this event.  If conditions change, and they're no longer required, a notification will be added to both this site and our facebook page.

In 2008, In the Heights, a new musical from up-and-coming young artists, electrified Broadway. The show’s vibrant mix of Latin music and hip-hop captured life in Washington Heights, the Latino neighborhood in upper Manhattan. It won four Tony Awards and became an international hit, delighting audiences around the world. For the film version, director Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians) brought the story home, filming its spectacular dance numbers on location in Washington Heights. That’s where Usnavi, Nina, and their neighbors chase their dreams and ask a universal question: Where do I belong?
 
In the Heights: Finding Home reunites Miranda with Jeremy McCarter, co-author of Hamilton: The Revolution, and Quiara Alegría Hudes, the Pulitzer Prize–winning librettist of the Broadway musical and screenwriter of the film. They do more than trace the making of an unlikely Broadway smash and a major motion picture: They give readers an intimate look at the decades-long creative life of In the Heights.
 
Like Hamilton: The Revolution, the book offers untold stories, perceptive essays, and the lyrics to Miranda’s songs—complete with his funny, heartfelt annotations. It also features newly commissioned portraits and never-before-seen photos from backstage, the movie set, and productions around the world.
