Author Event at Bear Pond Books featuring Katy Farber

Join us on September 13th from 11am to 1pm for a signing event for her new thriller, "The Board".

 

About the Book:

 

So much for fresh starts. When single mom Liv and her third-grade daughter move to a small New Hampshire town from Boston after a messy divorce and an even messier job loss, they soon find themselves dealing with major culture shock. Within days, Liv is on the “problem” list of the man who acts both as principal and superintendent in her district, and he shuts down her concerns at a school board meeting. Liv’s daughter suffers from anxiety but the school is run like an army barracks.

 

When Liv discovers that former teacher Lydia Brown was bullied,
intimidated, and forced to resign by the board, she begins a quest to uncover what’s really happening at the school. But as she comes into conflict with her ex-husband and the law, she begins to wonder if all of her suspicions are only in her mind. Is she only imagining things? Or will she be able to reveal the dark truth about unchecked power in this small town—before more people disappear?
