Join us at Kismet in Chestnut Hill to celebrate the launch of Laura Piper Lee’s debut novel Hannah Tate, Beyond Repair! Laura will be appearing in conversation with Eric Smith, whose most recent book is With or Without You. Please RSVP HERE for the event; Kismet is located at 12 West Willow Grove Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19118.

Laura says: “Y’all, this event’s going to be crazy. Come to the lovely Kismet space in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia for a night of loud talking, laughing, sequins, scene reads with friends, a scintillating conversation with Romcom Author and Literary Agent Eric Smith, romcom trivia, giveaways, and more. You’ll be able to pick up your preordered copy of Hannah Tate, Beyond Repair from the local indie favorite Big Blue Marble Bookstore right at Kismet and enjoy wine, chocolate, and snacks, too.”

About the book: A new mom repairs her broken dreams in this hilarious rom-com about starting over that sparkles with intelligence, wit, and compassion.

Hannah Tate can hardly believe her sleep-deprived eyes when she finds an engagement ring hidden in the closet. Killian, her super responsible, incredibly attractive boyfriend — and the father of her new baby, Bowie — is finally going to propose. But a romantic night out goes horribly wrong when Killian reveals he’s dumping Hannah, not proposing.

Furious and heartbroken, Hannah takes Bowie and moves in with her mama and stepdaddy in the mountains of Blue Ridge, Georgia. Hannah realizes that her parents’ cabin has vacation property gold written all over it — and could save her mama from going broke. Again.

Only problem? The cabin’s décor is . . . mildly terrifying and it’s in desperate need of renovation. Hannah hires the hot carpenter living in the treehouse next door to fix up the place. Not only does River respect Hannah’s business acumen, he looks at her like she’s a woman, not a hot mess. And Hannah can’t deny that River awakens something new inside her.

Can Hannah embrace a future that looks different from the picture-perfect family she once dreamed of . . . and maybe start living life on her own terms?
