Lisa Jahn-Clough

Nothing but Blue by Lisa Jahn-Clough Thursday, June 6th, 7:00pm at Longfellow Books All dead. No one survived. All dead. This morbid chant haunts seventeen-year-old Blue as she trudges through the countryside with just the clothes on her back, heading to her childhood home on the ocean. Something absolutely awful has happened, she knows it, but she doesn’t know what. She can’t even remember her name, so she calls herself Blue. This gripping survival story—peppered with flashbacks to bittersweet times with her boyfriend, Jake—strips life down to its bare bones. Blue learns, with the help of a seemingly magical stray dog and kind people along the road, that the important thing is to live. "With clipped prose of intimate detail and keen insight, Jahn-Clough crafts an authentically adolescent first-person narrative ... With tight pacing, motley characters, and touches of the spiritual, this is a furious, illuminating adventure." -Booklist Come hear Portland resident, and a longtime friend of Longfellow Books, Lisa Jahn-Clough share her newest young adult novel.
