LITERATURE + LECTURES

Brazos Bookstore is proud to present a book signing and discussion with Gwendolyn Zepeda author of Better With You Here. Gwendolyn Zepeda will meet and discuss Friday July 20th at 7:00pm. 

Gwendolyn Zepeda’s newest novel will be in stores July 17. Publishers Weekly calls "Better With You Here" a “subtle and often amusing look at a single mother struggling to raise her kids” and says that “Zepeda’s command of family dynamics shows in every scene, creating complexity and drama.”

If you ask her, Natasha Davila will tell you there’s nothing more important to her than her kids. She’ll do anything for her son and daughter-even play nice with her ex-husband. Only now she’s facing a problem she never expected: her ex is re-marrying and suing for full custody. She could fall to pieces . . . or she could call on her friends.

There’s Sara, whose tough talk hides a soft-and loyal-heart, and Haley, who has so much more to offer than a pretty face. When they’re together, Natasha doesn’t have to be someone’s wife or someone’s mother. She can just be. When Natasha’s ex ups the ante and exposes some disturbing news about her friends, she’s forced to cut ties. But can she really walk away from the women who have been standing by her side?
