Registration is required.</h4>Copies of Rescue Me will be available for purchase at the event.<hr />ABOUT THE BOOK: From award winning author Stephanie Kepke comes a stunning novella about the power of music, love, and dogs.Fifty-two year old Tess Holden likes dogs better than people. The widowed mom to a teen on the autism spectrum has sworn off men. Her life revolves around her son, Gavin, a musical savant battling demons; their rescued pit bull Henley (for Don Henley); and her second-act career as a dog masseuse. That is until she finds herself drawn to Everett Rosenberg, the owner of Tess’ favorite client—a giant, elderly rescue named Bruce (as in Springsteen). When Tess finally meets Everett, she can’t shake the feeling she knows Everett from long ago. She’s shocked to discover their connection runs deeper than she ever imagined—beyond both naming their dogs after musical icons. And although Everett has been living in anonymity in his suburban Long Island mansion Tess did know him well once…at least in her fantasies. Will their tragic pasts and Everett’s growing bond with Gavin bring them together or will one mistake rip them apart forever? STEPHANIE KEPKE is an award winning writer and blogger. Kepke's second grade teacher told her that she should be a writer and she hasn't wavered in her path since. As a former arts reporter and music journalist, Stephanie spent her twenties listening to loud rock bands in bars all around Boston and New England (including her drummer husband's), before returning to her Long Island roots in her early thirties. Stephanie has published six books: Feel No Evil and Goddess of Suburbia, both novels; Rocky Road Home, A New Life, and You & Me,  all novellas; and Boys, Dogs and Chaos, a book of essays.
