Local Bolingbrook Author Spotlight: Kristina Parro

Bolingbrook-based author, Kristina Parro, is excited to be showcased at The Promenade Bolingbrook in a Local Author Spotlight. Her debut novel, Lucky: A Novel (inspired by Taylor Swift’s folklore and the incredible true story of Standard Oil Heiress, Rebekah Harkness) is available now.

Lucky: A Novel depicts the story of the American Dream: an epic juxtaposition of glitter and tragedy. Two women— one pop-star, one heiress— are connected through the transcendental nature of time and space. Join America's favorite pop-star, Rhea Harmonia, as she tumbles down an existential rabbit hole... through American history, Western thinking, math, music, philosophy, and time. Is the American Dream anything but a nightmare?

Check out the window display in the Bolingbrook Arts Council windows at The Promenade Bolingbrook, right next to It’s So Fluffy and Macy’s. There, you can read a snippet of her book and meet some of Lucky’s characters.

Lucky is available to purchase on Amazon (paperback and ebook), Target (paperback), and Kristina’s personal website (hardcover). It is also available to borrow at the Fountaindale Public Library in Bolingbrook.
