DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a special evening with author Gabrielle Korn as she disc
 usses her new novel\, Long Island Girls\, a deeply nostalgic comingâ€
 ‘of‑age story set against the indie music scene of the early 2000
 s.\n.\nhttps://dclibrary.libnet.info/event/16522086
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Rooted in the raw intensity of youth but s
 haped by the clarity of hindsight\, Long Island Girl follows Susan as she 
 navigates small‑town rumors\, early adulthood\, and the exhilaratin
 g yet complicated world of indie music. From Long Island to Brooklyn\, she
  works to build a life in the industry she loves&mdash\;only to confront w
 ho gets to belong\, who gets to create\, and what it costs to stay. When S
 usan reconnects with Eliza\, the magnetic girl she once couldn&rsquo\;t ig
 nore\, she&rsquo\;s forced to reckon with the past that shaped her and the
  future she&rsquo\;s still trying to claim.</p>\n<p>This richly drawn nove
 l captures the ache of growing up\, the messiness and joy of queer identit
 y\, and the power of music and memory in defining who we become.</p>\n<p><
 strong>Gabrielle Korn</strong> will discuss the inspiration behind the boo
 k\, her writing process\, and the themes that drive her storytelling with 
 Nikki Payne. A Q&amp\;A and book signing will follow the conversation. Sig
 ned copies of <em>Long Island Girls </em>will be available for purchase fr
 om a local bookstore.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\; &nbsp\;</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><strong>For
