BOOKS AND AUTHORS
Meet The Author
Rebecca Serle
In Five Years
Rebecca Serle, author of The Dinner List, makes a special appearance to discuss her new book, a powerful and moving love story following an ambitious lawyer who experiences a shocking vision (or dream?!) that could change her life forever. But the twist with this novel is that this love story is actually a friendship love story. The book reminds us of the power of loyalty, friendship, and the unpredictable nature of destiny.
