SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Signing! Girl From the Red Rose Motel
DESCRIPTION:Screenshot\n\n\n\nCome party with your neighbors in downtown Summerville on Third Thursday\, and stop by Main Street Reads to get a personally signed copy of the award-winning Girl From the Red Rose Motel by Susan Beckham Zurenda! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSusan will be on hand that evening to meet fans and sign books and tell you more about her great work – don’t miss the fun! \n\n\n\nImpoverished high school junior Hazel Smalls and privileged senior Sterling Lovell would never ordinarily meet. But when both are punished with in-school suspension\, Sterling finds himself drawn to the gorgeous\, studious girl seated nearby\, and an unlikely relationship begins.  \n\n\n\nSet in 2012 South Carolina\, the novel interlaces the stories of Hazel\, living with her homeless family in the rundown Red Rose Motel; Sterling\, yearning to break free from his wealthy parents’ expectations; and recently widowed Angela Wilmore\, their stern but compassionate English teacher. Hazel hides her homelessness from Sterling until he discovers her cleaning the motel’s office when he goes with his slumlord father to unfreeze the motel’s pipes one morning. With her secret revealed\, their relationship deepens.  \n\n\n\nAngela-who has her own struggles in a budding romance with the divorced principal-offers Hazel the support her family can’t provide. Navigating between privilege and poverty\, vulnerability and strength\, all three must confront what they need from themselves and each other as Hazel gains the courage to oppose boundaries and make a bold\, life-changing decision at novel’s end.  \n\n\n\nGripping and richly drawn\, The Girl from the Red Rose Motel explores the complex bonds between adults and teenagers and the power of the families we both inherit and create. Inspired by the author’s experiences teaching in a South Carolina high school\, the novel is also an unflinching\, authentic look at the challenges faced by America’s public school teachers and the struggles of the thousands of homeless children in motels who live\, precariously and almost invisibly\, amid the nation’s most affluent communities.
