Los Angeles-based writer Caroline Frost will discuss her book, “Shadows of Pecan Hollow,” at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena on Tuesday, March 8, at 7 p.m. She will be in conversation with fellow writer Ellie Eaton.
A native Texan, Frost has a Master of Professional Writing from University of Southern California and is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She lives in the Los Angeles area with her husband and three young children.
“Shadows of Pecan Hollow” is her first novel.
The story is set in 1970 when 13-year-old runaway Kit Walker was abducted by Manny Romero, a smooth-talking, low-level criminal, who first coddled her and then groomed her into his partner-in-crime. Before long, Kit and Manny were infamous for their string of gas station robberies throughout Texas, making a name for themselves as the Texaco Twosome. Fourteen years later, Kit has scraped together a life for herself and her daughter amongst the pecan trees and muddy creeks of the town of Pecan Hollow, far from Manny. But when he shows up at her doorstep a new man, fresh out of prison, Kit’s profound and twisted attachment to him compels her to let him in. Immediately, Kit is forced to reckon with the shadows of her past, and her community is sent into a tailspin.
Tickets to Tuesday’s event are $27.99 and include one entry and one hardcover copy of “Shadows of Pecan Hollow,” which will be handed out at check-in.
