12/18 Meet Author Laura Quinn at Spring Donut in Barrington

Meet author Laura Quinn at Spring Donut, 113 Cook St, Barrington, IL 60010. She will be signing copies of her newly published book, “Punk Charming”. This cozy bakery and coffee shop is the perfect place to relax and learn about Kate and James’ international love story. All pastries and savory items are hand-crafted by the charming owners (sisters), much like James’ sister, Anne, would make. Quinn will be there from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., though she will likely stay longer - for just one more delicious Kurto (chimney cake).

Back Cover Blurb: 1986 – Shoulder pads are big, hair is bigger, and American college student Kate Spenser is set to embark on the biggest adventure of her life. Having been accepted to a summer study-abroad program in Oxford, England, Kate travels to Europe for the first time. The eighteen-year-old is psyched about a summer of exploring countries on her own, experiencing new cultures, and perhaps meeting a charming young man along the way. Armed with a French-English dictionary and her Walkman loaded with Duran Duran, Kate is ready to start her adventure in Paris. Little does she know what awaits her, and how her life will forever change.
