Pamela Ribon has 2 past events. (show)  PAMELA RIBON - You Take It From Here Thursday August 30 at 7pm Bestselling Author Pamela Ribon speaking & signing You take it from hereFrom the author of Why Girls Are Weird comes a poignant, funny tale about two very different best friends—one terminally ill with cancer, and the other determined to do absolutely everything she can to help. On the heels of a divorce, all Danielle Meyers wants is her annual vacation with sassy, life-long best friend, Smidge — complete with umbrella cocktails by an infinity pool — but instead she’s hit with the curveball of a lifetime. Smidge takes Danielle to the middle of nowhere to reveal a diagnosis of terminal cancer, followed by an unusual request: “After I’m gone, I want you to finish the job. Marry my husband. Raise my daughter. I’m gonna teach you to how to be Smidge 2.0.”
In the spirit of Beaches and Steel Magnolias, You take it from here is an honest, hilarious, and heartbreaking novel that ultimately asks: How much should we sacrifice for the ones we love the most?

 Smart Summer Reads in Redondo Beach We think our Smart Summer Reads program is the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. For one hour, you will have an opportunity to particiate in "speed dating" with the authors. At every author station you will learn about the author, their latest book, and answers to your questions. It's Fun. It's Fast. It's Fabulous! We hope you will join us so that we can introduce you to some new authors, munch a bit, and win some free books! Please call the Redondo Beach store (310.542.6000) to let us know if you plan to attend so that we can plan accordingly. (Thank you!) Headlining our day is Robert Goolrick, the author of the acclaimed A Reliable Wife, who will be talking about his newest book, Heading out to wonderful, which takes place in Brownsburg, Virginia in the summer of 1948. This period piece is based on a true story and will engross you from page one.
For those of you who missed her launch party in May, you will love meeting local author Jill Smolinski. Her latest title, Objects of my affection, is a favorite of Terry’s and features an organizing specialist and her latest client, who is a famous recluse and a hoarder.
Pamela Ribon may be best known for her award-winning “Samanth Who” screenwriting credits, but is also the author of three previous novels. In You take it from here, Danielle Meyers promises her best friend that she will take over her life when she dies, by being a wife to her husband and a mother to her daughter, a premise that defies you to not dive right in.
Heidi Durrow is the acclaimed author of The girl who fell from the sky, the 2009 winner of the Bellwether Prize for Fiction. Some of you may have met Heidi when she visited the store earlier this year for our Algonquin Book Group event.
Gigi Levangie Grazer was born and raised in LA and is instantly recognizable by the titles of some of her previous work: Maneater, The Starter Wife and the movie Stepmom, for example. The after wife is her fifth novel and will be published just days before our event with her.
Terry and the staff will also be on hand to tell you about their favorite books of the season. And everyone who attends will receive a gift … customized just for them. Other surprises may be in store … so don’t miss this event!
Please contact the Redondo Beach store if you are planning to attend to make sure that we have enough goodies for everyone.
