Meet the Author Series: Kathleen Rooney

"It’s the last day of 1984, and 85-year-old Lillian Boxfish is about to take a walk..."

Join us for a reading and discussion with Kathleen Rooney, the author of bestselling Lillian Boxfish Takes A Walk – a smart and charming story about the highest-paid advertising woman of 1930’s (based on a real-life ad woman and author, Margaret Fishback).

We’ll be serving snacks and refreshments, and the author’s books, provided by RoscoeBooks, will be available for purchase and signing.

About The Author: Kathleen Rooney is a prolific poet, novelist, critic, editor, and a teacher at DePaul University. Her latest novel was named Library Journal’s Fall 2016 Editor’s Pick.
