Margie, Amy and Sue at The Bookstore The Bookstore is hosting a book launch event for Amy Sue Nathan, a Flossmoor author whose debut novel is being published this month by St. Martin's Griffin.

Her new book, The Glass Wives, is about a woman whose ex-husband has died, leaving her more entangled with his second wife and their new baby than she would have wanted. Amy has gotten great blurbs from bestselling authors Meg Waite Clayton ("An insightful exploration of the lengths mothers will go to for the sake of their children") and Lydia Netzer ("Nathan firmly but with good humor peels back the layers of suburban normal"). Glass Wives goes on sale May 14th in case you want to pick it up and read it before Amy comes to visit. It would be a great book club discussion!
