 a variety of breakthrough\\, award-winning\\, and bestselling authors of 
 history\\, biography\\, fiction\\, memoir\\, and more.\\nAll tickets incl

 stselling author Sarah McCoy—a spellbinding novel based on a true story
 : a beautiful young movie star of Hollywood’s Golden Age gives up her b
 right career to become a nun.\\nIn 1969\\, twenty-three-year-old starlet 
 Lori Lovely\\, the apple of Hollywood’s eye\\, shocks the world by ditc
 hing a promising film career to take vows of poverty\\, chastity\\, and o
 bedience as a Benedictine nun. Gossip columnists and scandal sheets canâ€
 ™t get enough of the story. Why would such a beautiful girl take the veil
 ? Was she hiding from someone? Did it have anything to do with her costar
 \\, heartthrob singer Lucas Wesley?\\nIn 1990\\, Lu Tibbott is under the 
 gun to complete her senior thesis in modern American history. Instead of 
 spending weeks in dusty archives\\, Lu decides to dig into a true twentie
 th-century mystery and write about her aunt Lori\\, now the Mother Abbess
  at a cloistered convent in rural New England. Biographers\\, journalists
 \\, and media types have long speculated about her aunt Lori’s sudden d
 eparture from Hollywood. Mother Lori\\, however\\, has refused all reques
 ts for interviews—until Lu arrives at the abbey with a tape recorder in
  hand. To her delight\\, Mother Lori announces she’s finally ready to t
 alk&#8230\\;but only if Lu is truly ready to listen.\\nLu is shocked to d
 iscover that the story of Lori Lovely’s rise in Hollywood was far more 
 tumultuous than she’d ever expected\\, a fairy tale twisting with ambit
 ion\\, unforeseen alliances\\, forbidden love\\, and secrets. What began 
 as a history thesis now threatens to upend all their lives with its unexp
 ected truths\\, especially as the media gets wind of Lu’s project and b
 egins to ask…\\nWhatever happened to Lori Lovely?\\nhttps://www.gayout.
