Come ask questions, deliberate over her book How She Died, How I Lived , and revel in this zoom experience.. Mary is the author of *How She Died, How I lived *and is an old college professor of mine. We are so excited to be able to host her, but wanted to open up the event to those outside of our own township! Please share with your students and patrons! *A summary of How She Died, How I lived: **I was one of five. The five girls Kyle texted that day. The girls it could have been. Only Jamie--beautiful, saintly Jamie--was kind enough to respond. And it got her killed.* On the eve of Kyle's sentencing a year after Jamie's death, all the other "chosen ones" are coping in various ways. But our tenacious narrator is full of anger, stuck somewhere between the horrifying past and the unknown future as she tries to piece together why she gets to live, while Jamie is dead. Now she finds herself drawn to Charlie, Jamie's boyfriend--knowing all the while that their relationship will always be haunted by what-ifs and why-nots. Is hope possible in the face of such violence? Is forgiveness? How do you go on living when you know it could have been you instead? *A description of our event*: Special Guest, Mary Crockett Hill has worked as everything from a history museum director to a toilet seat hand model, and now she’s here to discuss her current job as a YA Author (which she does when she’s not busy being a college professor).
