Author Discussion with Cate Touryan

Writing under the pen name Cate Touryan, author Ann C. Hanna
graduated San Luis Obispo Senior High School in 1974.

Cate will have a lively discussion about her new novel, 
Turning Toward Eden, with her editor - who is also Cate's daughter.

For most fourteen-year-olds, California summers in the early 1970s mean sun and surf, despite the Cold War chill. Not for Eden.

An evocative story laced with mystery — and set in a fictional Avila Beach — Turning Toward Eden weaves nostalgia with grit, sorrow with humor, and despair with faith, offering hope to anyone who has sought to belong in a world that rarely plays fair.
