Radnor High's Fourth Annual Girls' Night Out

I'll be spending part of tomorrow evening among those celebrating the Radnor High School Scholarship Fund's Fourth Annual Girls' Night Out. Wine, hors d'oeuvres, some 20 boutique vendors, a Lilly Pulitzer fashion show, raffles, and more are on the agenda.  With the event beginning at 4 and ending at 9, I'll be making my way to The Willows on Darby Road at 6:30 or so to talk about and read from some of my books.  I'll be sharing (briefly, I promise!) the ways in which my fiction—Undercover, House of Dance, Nothing but Ghosts, The Heart Is Not a Size, Dangerous Neighbors, and the forthcoming You Are My Only—provides windows into the life I've actually lived.  I hope to see you there.
