The Garland family stumbles through life dealing with the death of the family’s only son. Fifteen years after the accident, the sisters Josie and Meredith continue to plod through life. One has given up her dream to be an actress and has married and settled down while the other is a single elementary school teacher who can hear her biological clock ticking.

 

This is the premise for author Emily Giffin’s latest novel “First Comes Love!,” which Schuler Books & Music celebrates the paperback release with a visit by Giffin Wednesday, April 5. The 7 p.m. Girls Night Out event will be ticketed.

 

The author of “Something Borrowed,” “Where we Belong,” and “The One & Only,” took two years before releasing “First Comes Love!” which received widespread praise in its hardcover release last year. “Publishers Weekly” said “Giffin at her finest–a fantastic, memorable story.”

 

Giffin is a graduate of Wake Forest University and the University of Virginia School of Law. She lives in Atlanta with her husband and three children.

 

Tickets will be available beginning Tuesday, April 4, at the Schuler Books & Music 2660 28th St. location only, when the store opens at 9am. Seated tickets (tickets #1-100) are available with purchase of a paperback copy of “First Comes Love!” Standing room tickets (tickets 101 and up) are available with no purchase necessary. The signing will proceed after the talk in approximate ticket number order (we will call in groups of 10).

About the Book

In this electrifying thriller, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is called upon by the sheriff’s department in rural, upstate New York to assist on a developing situation that involves a reclusive Amish settlement and the death of a young girl. Unable to penetrate the wall of silence between the Amish and “English” communities, the sheriff asks Kate to travel to New York, pose as an Amish woman, and infiltrate the community.

 

Kate’s long-time love interest, State Agent John Tomasetti, is dead-set against her taking on such an unorthodox assignment, knowing she’ll have limited communication — and even less in the way of backup. But Kate can’t turn her back, especially when she hears there are children in this cult and they may be in danger. She travels to New York where she’s briefed and assumes her new identity as a lone widow seeking a new life.

 

Kate infiltrates the community and goes deep under cover. In the coming days, she unearths a world built on secrets, a series of shocking crimes and herself, alone… trapped in a fight for her life.
